This often causes me problems, I try to reduce the risk of failure, I:
-run the batch as administrator ( runas /? )
-become the owner of the files and directories ( cacls /? )
-remove all 'special' attributes ( attrib /? )
-attempt a delete ( rdf /? del /? )
-schedule a delete to run after reboot if previous fails... ( regedit /? )

Additionaly a folder can be prevented to be deleted if you add it as a key in the registry..
I forgot how to do this, and like to include it myself, I should

Stupid reg keys preventing deletes. Go root kit yourself to hell'o' operator dial number nine.
