Cannot delete desktop folder

I have a folder on my desktop that will not allow me to rename, move or delete. It is not a system folder and the folder is currently empty. I was able to successfully delete the contents of the folder, however when I try to delete the folder I get the following error message:

Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disc.

I believe that when I created the folder I inadventently put a space at the end which may be causing the problem(?) I have read through many threads looking for help to delete it, but nothing that I have found so far has worked.

I have tried starting up in safe mode and deleting and have tried deleting through dos (the folder was not recognized when I tried this option) I also tried dloading a program to delete it (can't remember the name of it now as I deleted it when it didn't work)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
