I do not know why it would say all of those at the same time, but I'll explain each of those.
"Can't find specified path." This means that the folder may have been moved.
"Directory is not empty." This means that the folder has files in it. I do not know why it would say this, because when you delete a folder it deletes the files inside of it as well.
"Cannot read from the source file or disk." This means that the folder has either been moved or deleted. When you delete folders sometimes they remain and say this when you go to delete them again. Refreshing usually fixes this problem.
»I am unsure of what has happened to your folder, but maybe you might figure out where it disappeared to. If you still can't delete it, boot the computer in Safe Mode and delete it that way.

ok , it may already be deleted. Reboot, and the folder should be gone.
if not, after rebooting, try deleting again.
if again it doesnt work, reboot 'in safe mode' and then try deleting
