You should be able to delete the folder in a command prompt at boot if you like.
Folder - Delete from Command Prompt - Windows 7 Help Forums
If that doesn't help, then the free program Unlocker should help you delete it.![]()
Hi Shawn. For once my question isn't about my own computer
![Dinesh :dinesh: :dinesh:](/images/smilies/dinesh.gif)
My partner uninstalled mcafee shortly after getting his laptop, but it seems it didn't uninstall cleanly. There are still mcafee folders in Program files and Program Files x86 and there are still some mcafee related entries in Task Manager.
Mcafee isn't listed in programs, and CCleaner doesn't find any registry entries related to mcafee.
We want to delete the folders but when we try (from an admin account) we get the following message:
![access denied mcafee.PNG access denied mcafee.PNG](https://www.eightforums.com/data/attachments/38/38232-bed8c13559bb6c0991684d2f949d9008.jpg)
Just wondering which would be the best option:
using the built in admin account, using a command prompt to delete them, or using something like Unlocker?
Or something completely different?
