I am using Cygwin on WIN xp

I have tried all the above recomended option to delete the file and Folder
but those folder and file are not able to remove from cygwin using the rm command ,
But when i am trying to open the internet explorer property and remove all the offline contents then only it is removing.

Please suggest

I have seen that these are the virus file generating jsut by connecting to Internet.

I want to remove these file in every 10 sec by writing a UNIX script in cygwin.

these file are getting created in /cygdrive/c/Document and setting/user/local setting/Temporary Internet files

presently i have wriiten the script to check the desktop.ini file in this directory and the SUBfolder in this directory.

It is removing the desktop.ini but not able to remove the subfoder -- here is the script i am using ---

---------------------------SCRIPT----------------
#!/bin/sh
VIRUS_DIR="/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/User/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5/"

vf_2="6[1].gif"
vf_3="desktop.ini"

DH_USRLOCAL(1)							     Debhelper							    DH_USRLOCAL(1)

NAME
dh_usrlocal - migrate usr/local directories to maintainer scripts SYNOPSIS
dh_usrlocal [debhelperoptions] [-n] DESCRIPTION
dh_usrlocal is a debhelper program that can be used for building packages that will provide a subdirectory in /usr/local when installed. It finds subdirectories of usr/local in the package build directory, and removes them, replacing them with maintainer script snippets (unless -n is used) to create the directories at install time, and remove them when the package is removed, in a manner compliant with Debian policy. These snippets are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of debhelper maintainer script snippets. If the directories found in the build tree have unusual owners, groups, or permissions, then those values will be preserved in the directories made by the postinst script. However, as a special exception, if a directory is owned by root.root, it will be treated as if it is owned by root.staff and is mode 2775. This is useful, since that is the group and mode policy recommends for directories in /usr/local. OPTIONS
-n, --noscripts Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts. NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts. CONFORMS TO
Debian policy, version 2.2 SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
