deleting stuff

my problem is about the same as dufasio's problem. he posted a day earlier than me.
i have try the method posted that was to reboot into safe mode and try to delete the file. but i didn't work for me.

the few problem i have :
1... i can't delete a folder in my desktop. whenever i try to delete it. i will say cannot delete "name of the folder". Directory is not empty.
2... I cant delete some movie file i ahve in one particular folder. When i try to delete it. it will say that someone of some other program is using it. i also cant rename it or what so ever, but i can move the file to other places in the computer.
3... some folder i have, when i click properties. i see the the read only option is click. and the color of the box is grey. i then unclick that option. then press apply and ok. right after that i check the properties again .. back to square one ..
