Hope someone knows how to solve this.
Cannot delete *foldername..*: Cannot find the specified file.
Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.
Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.
Also when I hit properties on the folder there is no name in the General
area where there normally is a file/folder name. The name of the offending
folder, has an ellipsis at the end, e.g.. "foldername.."
Thanks in advance for helping resolve this issue.

Hi PJ,
When this happens to me it is that a file or folder has been deleted but
explorer has not been updated ( refreshed ).
Try hiting F5, if that does not disapear the culprit close explorer and
reopen. Than it should be gone.

I've rebooted several times, this problem has been going on for about 2
months, but I'll give that a try.
