Cannot delete folder

$

Hey, I have a folder on my external that I cannot delete, even though it is empty. I've tried going down many avenues, but can't seem to find out how to delete it. 

If I try to delete it, I get the message "You require permission from Administrators to make change to this folder"

It is currently read only, if I try to disable that, I get a message that says "You will need to provide administrator permission to change these attributes. Click Continue to complete this operation." If I click continue, it does nothing.

When I go to the security tab and try to change permissions, I already have full control, and when I try to tick the box "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" I get the the message; "An error occurred while applying security information to: [drive letter:\folder name\Thumbs.db] Access is denied"

So, I can't find any way of changing the file, nor deleting it; is there anything I'm missing? Any information/help greatly appreciated!
