I assume you use Windows.
You have to reset the "readonly", "system" and "hidden" directory
attributes. os.chmod can reset the first one, but for the others you
have to use ctypes or the pywin32 package to call the
SetFileAttributes function.
Of course there is system too:
os.system("attrib -r -h -s filename")
You could use rmtree once, apply the above on the remaining files and
directories -if any- and try rmtree again.
