I had installed windows 8 RP on a separate partition. I wanted yo get rid of it so I removed its entry from boot menu but now I am unable to delete the folders left after it such as windows, windows.old and programfiles.
The error is that you need permission from trusted installer to delete file.
i'm having problems deleting a folder. before it stated that i needed SYSTEM permission, so i changed the ownership to COMPUTERNAME/MYUSERNAME. And i'm still unable to delete the folder.
View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate (not an upgrade). It's a hard drive that had already had Win 7 Ultimate on it, but I had run into some snafus, so I just re-installed fresh. As you probably already know, Windows 7 detects previous Windows installations and puts it into a folder called "Windows.old". After my new installation was done, this Windows.old folder was pretty big, around 25 gigabytes. From some searching I did, I found out about using Disk Cleanup, and you put a checkmark in the box for Previous Windows installations, and then let the program run its course.

I am the admin though, just got my computer last night, it was pre-owned. Just displayed in the window of future shop, but still pre owned. I changed the account name from owner to corey...

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy computer crashed a while ago so I reinstalled 7. Now I have a folder in C: that has no name and is impossible to delete. My hard drive is small and this folder literally takes up more than half of it. The error is that I need permission from myself to delete it. I have already looked at many threads and tried to solve this but nothing works. I already have assigned permission and ownership to myself and tried deleting it from safe mode. It theoretically has data from a previous install but I can't access anything in the folder. I just want to get rid of it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a folder that has 25 subfolders and all folders are empty. When I try to delete them, an error appears stating that the folder contains names that are too long for the recycle bin.

I would like to remove this folder and all its subfolders. I have tried everything from changing permissions to changing attributes and even trying DOS to remove the folders; no luck!
First off, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I had no idea what section to post this in.Today I was using a program for the game 'Minecraft' called MultiMC and when deleting files it created I don't need anymore, I came across a folder I couldn't open, delete or do anything with. When I try to open it it says '(location) is not accessible. Access is denied'. When I try delete it, it says 'You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changed to this folder' (yet, I am the administrator - the only account on the computer).

View 7 Replies View RelatedI installed Windows 7 on a clean hard drive with only one user account and password. After installing McAfee, the Windows password was not recognized, and all I could do was reinstall Windows and I did this without assigning a password. I could not solve the problem in Safe Mode. I see a folder called c:Windows.old, and the properties show it takes 15 gigabytes. I tried deleting this folder by putting a shortcut to explore.exe on the desktop and running as administrator, but it runs to a point and then says I don't have permission. I assume this folder exists because I had to reinstall Windows.

I have changed ownership of the folder and everything but am still not able to delete the folder. It continues to tell me I do not have permission to do this.

I've tried everything suggested but can't seem to find a way. I even went into the registry but can't find anything.
