Nope. I think that if information needed for one process can be locked 
out by some other process, they might get to hit at the same time.

Have you tried booting to fail safe mode and removing there? Right now 
someone (I'd guess Darren;) could tell you a Windows-utility equal to 
*n?x -sides lsof (LiSt of Open Files), meaning a utility which can tell 
you which process is using which open file (we have one at work, but I 
don't remember the name, so I won't get it until next week).
