Delete Empty Folder with Permanent Read Only Set

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I have the exact same problem, I have run checkdisk, attempted just about every fix here and nothing. I have an old "My Documents" folder that contains several other folders. When I view them through explorer they appear as empty, however, I have noticed that other programs (ie. disk defragmentor) still report the information that was contained in these folders, and I am pretty certain that their volume has not been deleted from memory, because I should have a lot more available memory than I do. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
