i actually already rebooted a few times.
eventually i managed to remove the folders.
i set a folder "C:\testdesktop" to be my desktop, and let windows move all
contents of my desktop to that folder.
i then set my desktop to it's default position in users, but without moving
back all files.
from there i dragged the testdesktop folder, with the bugged folders inside,
into the recycle bin.
there i had to press the empty button twice, and after opening recycle bin
again the folders where gone.
