There can be a few reasons why you can't delete the files within Windows, some of them rather unpleasant. Anyhow...
If you are running Windows ME or lower (98/95), boot to command prompt only (in ME booting from the installation CD will give taht option, otherwise Shift-F5). Then you can move down to the files and delete them, if you can remember how to use the CLI. :)
XP can be a bigger problem, depending on what the actual cause of being unable to delete the files is. Booting in Safe mode with nothing extra loading is a good first move.
