Directory.Delete

I am trying to delete a directory with the Directory.Delete method,
specifying True for the second parameter, to indicate all subfolders as
well. But an exception is thrown indicating I do not have access to a
file. Yet I can turn around and immediately delete the directory in the
Windows Exploror.

What gives?

I suggest to post the complete method call and the complete exception text.
