I have a few folders that I can't delete:
I right-click > properties > security to try and give myself permission, but no joy:
So I try to take ownership of the folder in advanced > owner…
But no…
So I try running the command prompt as administrator and doing rmdir
, doesn't work:
I've run out of ideas! How can I delete these folders?
Best Answer
Take ownership and add permissions using the command line.
(takes ownership)
(sets full permissions for the folder to the admin group)
You should be able to delete it now.
If this does method not work due to other complications, boot from a flavor (Ubuntu or other) of Linux Live CD or USB and delete folders and files while in Linux.
