Can't delete insecure files

I have just cleaned up a 2006 Dell Dimension 5150 running Win XP-SP3. One of the programs I put on it from the git-go was Secunia PSI. Among the programs it fingered as insecure was M$ Visual C++, 2005 version. This must have been a leftover, because the 2008 version was also on the machine, so I removed (using Add/Remove) the 2005 version. But 2 folders under \Windows\Winsxs that contain the file ATL80.dll were not removed and are still showing up as insecure. I attempted to manually delete them, even using Safe Mode and signed on as Administrator, but access is denied.

How can I delete these 2 folders?

Unlocker didn't work. Got error messages to the effect that I was trying to close down a program that was running, so would not delete. How can it be running; it's for running M$ C++, which I'm not doing?
