Yeah, not a real big problem.

Those files are specific to a user, I assume they are under your user name.  I don't 
know exactly what they are, but they might be temporary I.E. files.

If you can log in as another user, those files won't be in use and they should defragment. 
 Assuming you are not using the Administrator account now, you could log in as Administrator 
and defragment them.

 If you are using XP pro, you can hit ctrl-alt-del twice when you are at the normal 
login screen to log in as Administrator, or any other account with admin privileges. 
 Of course you have to know the password, if there is one.

Or you can log in as administrator by booting up in safe mode.
