    Run command prompt in Admin mode and delete the directory that way. Are there still files in it that are in use by the system? Have you uninstalled the program and are just trying to delete the folder? If you have not already uninstalled Rivatuner I would recommend using Revo Uninstaller to remove it and its registry files and other scraps.

    Yeah, there were some files probably still loaded up in the memory so it couldn't be deleted until you removed them from your memory.
