Default Unable to open or delete an empty folder

I have a folder on my desktop which I cannot open of delete. Properties say it is empty. When I try to open it says Access Denied (5), select Access. When I select Access, I get UAC to which I say YES and it then says An Error occurred modifying permissions: Access Denied (5).

This was originally a set of folders containing many image files which I no longer needed and attempted to delete. Apparently something went wrong during the deletion and a single sub-sub-folder of the parent is now empty but cannot be accessed or deleted.

Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit.
Any ideas about how to get rid of it?
