Deleting Erroneous Folders

I cannot delete those folders under Safe Mode. I cannot boot to a
different hard drive and delete them either. They're left over from
failed attempts at updating. I have since successfully updated. I
would really like to get rid of those folders!

Using XP Home, NTFS. (So my old old old Norton Commander won't work
to get rid of them).

Heeeeeeeeeeelp! How do I get rid of those folders?

PS: I'm running as Administrator when I try all of the above.

=============================================


Reboot to Safe Mode and try it:
Reboot tapping F8 each second
Select Safe mode at the menu.

Otherwise:
