Impossible to get rid of a file folder

I tried all the stuff I could think of, including safe mode, in order to delete a folder of files from my T61p (Windows Vista Home Premium) without success. I have powers of the administrator, but they seem not to be good enough for this particular use.

Once I try, I am prompted to show approval of the administrator, just to end up with a message that the file is shared and cannot be deleted. Very frustrating.

The file has been created by trying to restore a single file from a Acronis backup archive. I probably did something wrong and what has happened is that the Acronis any file of archive backup began until the space in the hard disk was exhausted and the process had to be cancelled under restoration.

Despite the cancellation, windows and other files of program ended up being restored in a folder C:\...\Users\...\Documents\Excel\Various\[Filename] where the file name is autonatically attributed by the restoration program in the "Drive (C).

And this is the folder that I seem unable to get rid of.

Can anyone provide any help, please?

Thanks in advance.

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file.

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  • Impossible to get rid of 6 virus on computer

    I recently had the System Tool 2011 virus on my computer (even if I has not clicked any thing and immediately turned off my computer!)  I did a system restore to about a month ago hoping that would do the trick.  However, the malware has been always on my computer in addition to several other problems and a score of other viruses.  I installed malwarebytes and it detected about 60 files infected on my computer.  He was able to get rid of most of them, with the exception of 6.  They look great, as some of them are apparently influential on the registry.  Also, I am now unable to do a system restore, or get into the regedit or Group Policy Editor.  My windows Security Center has also been disabled.  I have to be logged on as another account because my admin account is one that is so infected my computer turns off almost immediately when I logged in this sense.  My admin account not another user account blocked - this is how I could do a restore system from this account earlier.  But for some reason, now he has blocked me do several things such as the ones I mentioned above.  I have the current microsoft essentials security running with windows defender and neither one picking up the virus.  I tried to download the 64 bit version of the windows malicious software removal software, but as soon as I start to try to run it I get an error message that says file not valid/damaged (something in this sense...)  Here is the log report after that I did a Malwarebyte s with the 6 remaining virus scan:
