rm problem: Directory not empty


I've seen a bunch of similar posts online but I don't see any fixes or
resolutions. When ever I try to recursively delete a directory, I get
the following error:

$ rm -rfv endorsed
removed `endorsed/xalan.jar'
removed `endorsed/xercesImpl.jar'
removed `endorsed/xmlParserAPIs.jar'
rm: cannot remove directory `endorsed': Directory not empty

I also tried the -d option and that didn't work either. In verbose, it
says that the files in the directory have been deleted but they really
are not.

Any help?

Thanks,
Mike
