can you please provide error message.
means we just want to know if that directory is in use and it will throw error or you have no rights to access that directory.

I think if you have no-rights for delete that folder then you can not delete that folder. you need to first grant full access to user over that folder.

Solution 1

delete the folder getting Access denied exception.
Access denied exception means proper security privileges are not in place. The account through which your application is trying to delete that link does not have security access to delete. You need to provide the same in order to do it.
