Cannot delete or rename files after altering contents, hard drive and USB drives.

I have Norton SystemWorks 2006 with GoBack operating in XP profesional SP2.

 

Since day one anytime I change the contents of a file or on a USB flash drive I cannot rename or remove folders, even empty ones. Removable drives get an in-use message for Eject. I suspect they are related.

 

I suspect but do not want to shut down GoBack since product messages say I'll loose the complete restore cue. It's especially important since I am still installing hardware and configuring software.

 

How can I pause this and or find out what is hanging the operation?

 

Notes:

1.  I have closed all windows, flushing the arrow cues.

2.  I have removed "Most Recent" links.

3.  I can do the operations if it is the first thing done after booting up.
