I trust you are on the administrator account, yes?
Try to move the files to your desktop, then delete them. That usually works.

If you are using an administrator's account you should be able grant yourself permission.
You can right click the file, properties and allow your account all permissions under the security tab.

I would run a virus scan in safe mode though
