Solved Can't delete windows.old

Trying to free up some space and the deletion seems to be working for about 15 seconds, then I get a permissions error message.



I am the administrator and the only one who uses the computer. I get this error message at other things too, but when I click continue, the program goes ahead. Trying to delete windows.old it just cycles to repeat the error message again. (When I click 'try again.')

How do you get permission from system to make changes?

It was a 'keep programs and settings' type of install for 8.

Thank you theog. I assumed it was something quirky and didn't think to look for a tutorial. This one worked, and I'll spend some time in that section. Solved.
