What did you type and what did the system reply?
Please also post a "ls -la" of the directory in question making it clear which user and group you are.


BTW. The type of error usually comes from deleting a directory from one session while is is your current working directory in another session.
It can also be caused by wrong permissions on the directory or directories, dead soft links, automount issues, corruption, very rapid file creation/deletion, etc. etc. .
