I don't have windows explorer open, I'm not running tortoise git (just
the command-line git). I do find it odd that after downloading all the
submodules it tries to delete boost_root.

It's not trying to delete boost_root.. It;s trying to delete the "bin" and "bin.v2" directories bewlow boost_root. This requires making changes to the boost_root directory index information. Hence it needs to lock it. But it might not be boost_root that it's having problems with, it could be some other file inside that is being used for some reason.
