Files marked Access Denied

I am Windows XP Pro user and in one of my directory I have a number of file
headings which are empty but I am unable to delete them, everytime I try I
get the message Access Denied

My computer is new and this directory was copied from my old machine which
was at that time connected to a network and used shared folders.

Is there a way I can clean up my files

Kind regards,

dennisl
