Hi All,
Have a problem that sounds super simple, but, for some reason isn't... I can't delete a folder!
There is a folder left over from an uninstalled product called "Symantec". When I attempt to delete this, I get the message "You require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this file". Clicking the "Try Again" button does nothing and the same message reappears.
I have tried to take ownership of the file through Properties > Security > Advanced, however, I get this error:
"An error occured while applying security information to (file path). Failed to enumerate objects in the contianer. Access is denied."
I have also tried to use an elevated command prompt to run the takeown command on this directory, however, get the "Access is denied." message for all files.
Any ideas on how to delete this file - unlocker does not work either!
Appreciating any help on this matter.
Thanks,
winster8
