Default Remove Write Protected

I'm using Vista SP1 and have a folder marked as "write protected". I want to remove this folder but it will not remove. Looking at properties, there appears no way to remove protection for the folder. Can you help? Thanks

Right click and click "properties" then go to the "security tab" then click the one that says "****-PC/****" The * represents your admin account name! Then click edit, and then click that same name again on the next window and then place check next to each one that is not checked. Then hit apply and hit ok! You should be able to delete it now and if you cant you might have to go into safe mode and delete it!
