Move down a level first. Delete objects at that level. If still getting
"access denied" and if possible, move down another level. Once you get a
successful delete, then start moving back up (one level at a time) to the
folder that you were wanting to delete to begin with.

Other suggestions:

- Run Disk Cleanup and chkdsk if you haven't done that in a while.

-There are some file types that are particularly troublesome for delete
operations. Many causes for this issue are documented in the MS Knowledge
Base. Links for a few of those articles:
