The only reason for a sharing violation I can see is that a
process is still running with one of those directories as
current working directory. This is not a problem of ssh but
of Windows.

Example:

If you start ssh-agent while you are in /foo, /foo becomes cwd
for ssh-agent. Regardless of this dir is empty or not, you
will fail miserably when trying to remove /foo while ssh-agent
is still running in the background.
