I can't delete this local svn working directory on windows

I want to delete just my local working copy (no server changes) and I am getting the following error:

Cannot delete dir-prop-base: access is denied

Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use.

I have tried using Unlocker but it says that no process has a handle to this and when I select the "Delete" action from unlocker, nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

If you're using tortoise svn, there's a process called TSVNCache.exe - kill it. There's a way to permanently disable it too, but I forget where.
