That is to be expected.
One could look into adding functionality to the plus UI like LockHunter has or simmilar tools but I'm not sure how nececery this is, just close that explorer window and try again

When powershell deletes folder which is opened in explorer, the explorer window just goes back one level up

I got the same error only with big boxes, without using explorer.exe.
I need to click delete content many times to empty folder.
