How do you delete META-INF?

It always says, "Cannot rename __rzi_40 to *insert computer details here*. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. I'm pretty bad when it comes to computers. Please help.

Update:

Ok. I've done that, and I'm currently watching a YouTube video for tips. There's a problem. In WinRAR, I have to highlight every item accept one and extract them. It's only letting me highlight one item, or all the items. I feel stupid, but I really want this mod.

    Im assuming your messing with minecraft. Well when deleting META-INF you can't have the program that uses it open(Minecraft). So all you have to do is close minecraft..then delete it!

    Well, I don't know what you are trying to do by deleting a META-INF file, but I'm going to assume it's for modding Minecraft. If so, you need to open the minecraft.jar with a program like WinRAR. Then you can manually edit/delete the internal files. If that's not what you were talking about, then I can't help you there.

    You delete META-INF the same way you would delete anything else;right-click and press delete. If it's saying that it is being used by another process, than you have whatever program is using META-INF open. All you have to do is close that program and you should be able to delete it.
