Parent.lock is impossible to delete

AnonymousUser

When I try to set the profile folder off read-only it says I do not have permission to do that to parent.lock. I uninstalled FF and deleted all personal data but parent.lock is still there. In the properties of the parent.lock file itself it just says I do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings.

I am running Windows Vista.
