Can't move, rename, or delete folders

I've been trying to do some work with some folders (work which involves the things listed in the title) but can't because it either (when trying to move or rename folders) says they're open in another program, when I know for a fact they are not, or (when
I try to delete a folder) says I need admin permission, but even when I get permission, it still says I need permission from something named "DESKTOP" followed by an assortment of letters and numbers. I think I should also mention that this only applies to
the folders themselves, not the files inside them. I can move, edit, and delete those with no problems, but the folders they're stored in cannot be moved, renamed, or deleted.

So far I've tried disabling sharing, disabling thumbnails, increasing my users permissions, and giving myself ownership of the folders, but none of those worked.

Errors on creating, renaming, deleting folders in explorer

Thanks for that will get on it.

In meantime, the folder name, rename, delete issues and related error messages in part is just because windows explorer has suddenly started requiring a refresh for each step to show the new folder for renaming, then again after it has been renamed etc. So I have to keep hitting F5 for every step in the process including the moving of files from one folder to another. Is there a solution to that? That would be part of the probelm solved and I can then see if there are any remaining problems.

Thanks

Tha bit has been solved by a restart of explorer. I will watch for any remaining issues and folow dalchina's advice should they still be present.
