Sometimes it could be another program using the file or folder. Is this a multiuser machine? Is it a server? Did you or anyone else run something that could use the file/folder? If so just exiting the program will do it
If it's a strange folder or file it could be a virus that created it.
You can see a list of running programs by going to the task manager and viewing Processes tab. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to quickly get the task manager
