Philo suggested chkdsk /f followed by a reboot, and it worked.
But thanks very much for your suggestion.

U R Welcome
most of the time, when a file cannot be deleted is because it's in use...
and sometimes all it takes is a reboot...
but the CRC error was a dead give away for file-system corruption of some
type
Glad it worked out ok
If that turns happens again, you may want to test the HD with the
manufacturer's diagnostic utility...
but if it was just a "one time thing", it is probably not worth worrying
about
