If Files Are Not Deleting:

Delete while Booted in Safe Mode:

In Safe Mode, Login Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait 30 seconds, and then try this deletion. Next, boot up normally, attempting another deletion. For instructions, go here: How to Use Safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support
