Alternative to killing TortoiseGit:

• Open the TortoiseGit-Settings (right click to any folder, TortoiseGit → Settings)
• Go to the Icon Overlays option.
• Change the Status Cache from Default to None
• Now you can delete the directory (either with Windows Explorer or rmdir /S /Q)
• Set back the Status Cache from None to Default and you should be fine again...
