Using RD to remove folders

I am trying to delete a folder using the command "RD C:\test /s /q"
I have found that if the test folder contains a file with a name longer than 8.3 convention it removes the file but leaves the folder and gives message "the process cannot access the file becasue it is being used by another process.
This is impossible because i have just created a dummy text file
I found this on NT and W2K but not on all machines
Any help please????
 
That message is what is given if you are in "COMMAND.COM" instead of
"CMD.EXE"

So run "CMD" not "COMMAND"
