    So,
    Why does it always happen?
    I mean....its mainly with WinRar and that sort of thing....
    Why is it 'still in use"?
    All the files IN the folder can be deleted, but not the folder itself....
    suggestions/ideas?

    It may be because the last folder you used to extract the files into is stored in your cache,or the programs cache.Hence,thats why it says "still in use".

    Whenever you reboot,the cache is cleared so the folder can now be successfully deleted.

    The open .dbx files and email recovery has prompted you a path of the Outlook Express files' storage. And now save the damaged dbx files in the safe folder, they can be useful.
