Hi there's no reason that should happen.
If you delete the files from outside Windows, Windows protection does not apply.
This is what should work:
1. Boot from your installation disk (not your installed Windows)
2. Select Repair
3. Navigate to a command prompt via Troubleshooting
4. Locate what you want to delete
5. Delete it
6. Check it's gone.
Emco's worked for me - the idea is it deletes it early in the boot sequence before Windows protection applies.
