Re: cant delete inetpub folder
Are you certain you uninstalled all of IIS via Add/Remove Windows Componenets?

Re: cant delete inetpub folder
Maybe log in through Safe Mode and delete it?

Re: cant delete inetpub folder
You probably have the IIS service running still. I assume you've rebooted since uninstalling IIS? Go through your services list and make sure it's no longer enabled, and if so, reboot into Safe Mode as yin said. If nothing else, go to www.sysinternals.com and use the Pendmoves tool to set the files to be removed before the system boots anything.
