    1. Search for Command Prompt in the windows search bar
    2. Run it as an administrator
    3. Paste the following command in the command prompt rd /s \\?\"C:\bad\folder\path"
    4. Replace "C:\bad\folder\path" with the folder or file's path.

    A file in a folder was acting like this, so I did this, deleting the entire folder. I copied other files before though.

    Like what nnjerom have previously answered, deleting the program which takes control of the location seems to solves the problem. In my case, deleting MEGASync allow me to delete the previously downloaded/synced folders which had problem deleting. This might not be the best solutions but it worked, at least in my case :p
