To find what process is locking a file or folder under Windows, open the Resource Monitor by typing resmon <ENTER> in the Run applet (Press Windows key + R).
Then type the file/folder name into the search box on the mid-right of the Resource Monitor.
After some searching the errant process will be displayed. Just close the process/program or kill it via Task Manager if it's no longer visible.
Hint: In earlier versions of Windows you may need to use Sysinternals Process Explorer to locate and kill the process.
