MySQL : can't rmdir './demo/' errno 17

Problem :
"can't rmdir './test/' errno 17"  
Error comes while dropping a database.

Reason :
For maintaining the data present in the databases MySQL maintains directory. These directories have same name as the database name. While executing the "drop database demo;" command for dropping the database if it's not able to delete it's directories then it throws the above exception

Solution :
This issue can be solved by manually deleting the database data related directory from the installed directory.

Where is the data directory present for MySQL database in windows ?
The default location of this directory would be :

C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data

Inside data directory you will see folders present for all the databases, in my case it is 'demo' folder. Deleting this folder solves my problem.
