Ive followed the instruction in the cmd and deleted what i was told to but the rockbox folder wount go. Also when i try  ipod updater it tells me its lock and may be in use with another program!

Moderator's rewrite (for the benefit of others with a similar problem looking for a solution via search):

I've tried to remove Rockbox because iTunes doesn't like it and songs keep disappearing.  [Moderator's note:  the Installation section of the Rockbox Manual addresses this issue.]  However, there are files on my iPod that can't be deleted because they're in use or corrupt.  I've followed the instruction in the cmd and deleted what I was told to delete, but I cannot delete the Rockbox folder.  When I try to use the iPod updater, it tells me that the Rockbox folder is locked and may be in use with another program.

Llorean:
1) PLEASE READ OUR FORUM GUIDELINES. They are in the announcements forum. Your post breaks them in more than one way.

2) Have you tried scandisk?

fishlover900:
what do you mean (rules) do you mean the capitals? Anyway no scandisk doent do anything

Llorean:
Read the guidelines. It's that simple. You'll know the mistakes you made once you've actually read them.

Scandisk reported no errors? Have you tried rebooting your iPod into emergency disk mode and removing the files like that?

Also, what *exactly* does the restore tool say?

fishlover900:
ok sorry, qwll ive tried emergency disk loader and same thing, restore says

cant lock ipod. please check if any applications are using ipod and try again.

ive checked that
