Default Re: CANNOT DELETE FOLDER

First run Check Disk on your computer and configure it to correct errors
automatically. Then configure the folder's security so that you have full
control to the folder and it you can't you will have to take ownership first
and then give yourself full control permissions. Then try to delete and if
you still can't try booting into Safe Mode and deleting it. If you still can
not from using Explorer try to delete it from the command line with the del
command. The links below may be helpful on how to take ownership and
configure folder/file permissions. --- Steve
