Quite likely you have an application that has an open handle to this
directory running (e.g. typically using it as its current directory).
Happens all the time. Download 'Handle' or 'Process Explorer' from
sysinternals.com to find the application so you can close it. Rarely you
might find that only the 'System' process has a handle to it - that
usually means the open handle is cached by some kernel mode driver and
typically are closed eventually as it's cleaned from its cache.
