Excel isn't the right tool for deleting a folder. Try using Windows
Explorer.

I'd try asking in a forum dedicated to Windows.

Be sure to include the version of Windows that you're running, too.

Windows problem, not Excel.
Try starting Windows in Safe Mode. See if you can then delete the folder.
If no joy, Google for "delete undeletable file"
