Don't delete the folder, delete the file.

So the file(s) were deleted?

The obb is a standard folder that many apps will use. Maybe that's why.

Imagine deleting Android/data and finding later on the none of your apps work.

EDIT: Therefore obb folder is read only

As Hussain said,that is a system file,data for games installed is stored there.
