Answer 1

Kill the Java process and try deleting the temp folder contents again. Worked for me.

Answer 2

The user that is running SonarQube (look at the user details in the windows services screen) must have R/W rights on several sub-directories in C:\Sonarqube-6.X. We assigned R/W rights to the whole C:\Sonarqube-6.X directory tree. Before retrying you can delete the temp directory safely. It is also essential that you unblocked the SonarQube zip-file after download and before unzipping.
