Mithun_mrg is exactly right. Check that pendrive in a virus free pc. Then make sure you clean your pc before plugging the pendrive again.

Remove the undeletable files using this-
Download Unlocker 1.9.1 - FileHippo.com



Also after you delete them do an updated Antivirus scan. And if it shows no infection.
