Werner,
Glad to hear that you're getting those folders/files removed.
C:\Windows\Temp\tmp00005bf7\tmp00000000
I don't know what is creating the tmp00005bf7 folder in C:\Windows\Temp, but
it isn't Outlook Express.
Outlook Express creates files not folders (directories).
Outlook Express creates a zero byte file for every message read. Plus
wbk**.tmp files when messages are read. Plus wbk**.tmp files when you Save
a message that you're working on, every time you hit Save.
The zero byte files have names like [1] or [14]. The files are created in
Content.IE5 subfolders.
Examples...
%homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\1EXPNXVB\[14]
%homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\GC1GM403\[54]
%homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\LJTLPTXJ\[25]
%homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\NU1KF7TX\[12]
The wbk**.tmp files have names like wbk118.tmp or wbkE5.tmp The files are
created in Content.IE5 subfolders.
Examples...
%homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\GC1GM403\wbk118.tmp
%homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\GC1GM403\wbkC1.tmp
%homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\GC1GM403\wbkC9.tmp

tmp00000000-files from bitdefender
Hello,
I have the same problem and the zerobyte temp0000000-files and their directories
are created from the softwin bitdefender av-programm.
I asked thier support, and ot back this replay:
Die Erstellung dieser temporären Dateien ist
leider nicht zu unterbinden da diese Dateien von der Antivirus-Engine benötigt
werden um Laufzeitgepackte Programme oder Archive zu dekomprimieren und deren
Inhalt auf bösartigen Code zu überprüfen.
Unsere Software-Entwickler arbeiten bereits seit längerem an einem Update für
dieses Verhalten, dies ist jedoch nicht leicht zu realisieren da der
Funktionsumfang unserer Antivirus-Engine enorm ist und nicht beeinträchtigt
werden darf. ---
The production of these temporary files is not unfortunately to prevent these files by the anti-virus engine to be needed there around run timepacked programs or archives decompress and their contents for malicious code to examine. Our software developers work already since longer on an update for this behavior, this are however not easy to realize the function range of our anti-virus engines there are enormous and not to be impaired may.

Bye, uwaeh
I just wrote a small batch, which I run from the startup / autostart folder:
@ cls
@ echo off
c:
DEL c:\temp\*.tmp /s
cd c:\temp
rd c:\temp\ /s /q
This deletes the bitdefender tmp-files and directories and all other unnecsserary tmp-files in c:\temp

I had the same problem, and was advised that the solution was probably in adjusting the 'ownership' of the folders (and files). And that worked out fine for me:
Log in as Administrator (in Home version must be in safe mode)
Navigate to the folder(s), select the folder(s), choose Properties
Then Choose Security / Advanced / Owner
Select Administrators as Owner (including subcontainers and objects)
OK and Close
Now all folders should be deletable.

Liebe Gemeinde,
In my experience (meaning actually I don't know...) most files I couldn't erase where locked because they are either the executable of a running application ('process' or 'task'), a subsequent resource/component of a running process (e.g. a file, directory, Registry key, child process, etc. to which access is controlled by a 'handle') or a 'DLL' employed by a running process. Since 'Windows Task Manager' (CTRL ALT DELETE) won't reveal the enigmatic 'handle' nor the 'DLL'... Why should it? As a simple user of the tool I need not be degraded to stink-student of the advanced, and oh, so beautiful art of IT with all its magical mysteries in code to simply JUST USE; fääk yuuh very much Bill for maximizing your house and car by running a fully developed monopoly with an unfinished product... shrewd indeed.
Get Process Explorer and run it
Press CTRL + F (Find)
Enter tmp (or filename of "suspected purpetrator")
rightclick result and 'Close Handle'
Delete the file, do Billy's R&D team's job for them and pay them for it!
LONG LIVE PIRACY!!!
