The webserver needs to have permission to modify the file that you are
trying to delete. Check the file and directory permissions by
right-clicking the directory and going to properties. You will probably
need to give the user that controls apache either "full" or "modify"
permissions to the Web directory.

In general, permission settings under Windows suck.
