Guide to Using Google Chromewindows-10-fast Home > Folder Access Denied: How to delete any folder in Windows Folder Access Denied: How to delete any folder in Windows Posted on January 31, 2014 by vonnie — 68 Comments ↓ One http://www.fixedbyvonnie.com/2014/01/folder-access-denied-delete-folder-windows/ of the most bemusing errors in Windows is the infamous "You require permission from http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/778/access-denied-how-to-delete-protected-or-spyware-files/ blah blah blah to make changes to this folder". The irony is that even the almighty Administrator isn't exempt from this problem. You thought signing into your box as an Admin gave your carte blanche access to the kingdom didn't you? You thought the administrator had unfettered and absolute reign over the entire file system didn't you? access denied You thought the omnipotent admin could do virtually anything in Windows right? I know I did, that's why I was so incensed the first time I encountered this error. What do you mean I can't perform this action? I'm the damn Administrator of this computer! I demand my rights! Hey, you're not alone. The error is annoying that it's almost crass. In this guide I'm going to show you how to get delete file access reclaim your authority as the administrator of your computer. Two approaches The first thing you need to do is take ownership of the folder you want to axe. In one deft move we're going to take over the folder and bend it into submission. It's time to make this stupid error desist! Right click on the folder you want to banish to oblivion and choose Properties. Under the Security tab click the Advanced button Along the top of the Advanced Security Settings dialog box for the folder you'll see the Name and Owner. In my case, someone named TrustedInstaller has exclusive rights to this folder. Who is this TrustedInstaller guy? The TrustedInstaller is a built-in account which installs, modifies and removes Windows updates and components. But here's the thing: if the TrustedInstaller is the owner of a folder then you shouldn't take ownership of that folder unless you really know what you're doing; that's because if you rename and delete such a folder you may render your system unusable. I'm going change the ownership of this folder for this demonstration but in reality you shouldn't ever need to do this on your computer. Incidentally, if you're running Windows 7 or Vista you can change the owner by clicking the Owner tab and choosin

When trying to delete spyware files, users will often get errors. Here is how to overcome the spyware's protection over these files. I hate this error -- Access Denied. Damn spyware has got the file locked… and now I've got to figure out how to unlock it. This is much more art than science but I'll tell you how I typically walk through the program. If you can't even find the file that you need to delete, you might want to try this trick: Find Files and Spyware that are Really Hidden 1. Change your system so you can view and edit your hidden and system files: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/685/xp_2000_view_and_remove_hidden_files_and_folders 2. Close all programs. Sometimes a currently running program will have locked the file. Typically this won't work, but you'll feel silly missing it. 3. Boot to safe mode. Booting to safe mode will often disable spyware programs that might be holding access to the files in question. You might as well stay in safe mode for the rest of the process. 4. Force stop unknown programs and processes. CTRL-ALT-DEL will bring up the task manager that will allow you to kill unknown programs and processes. If you can't use the taskmanager, you can try some of the freeware replacements such as: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml 5. Sometimes it is just easier to delete the file in a dos box. To open a command box: - Click Start - Click Run - In the textbox type cmd.exe and click OK 6. I'm not going to try to teach DOS here, but the command to delete a file is the following: del \folder\file.exe 7. If you still can't delete it, you can clear the attributes of the file. If you need details on this, you can read more about it here. The dos command for this is the following: attrib -r -s -h trojanfilename After doing this you will still need to delete the file with one of the methods described above. 8. If none of the above work, you can use a specialized file deletion freeware program such as Move On Boot. 9. Booting to a CD-ROM boot utility disk or linux disk is a painful, but almost foolproof, method of deleting files. Here's that recipe: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/469/boot_cd_rom_run_diagnostic_tools Here's how to remove infected files from the system restore area: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/8/clearing-infected-files-from-system-restore If you have a
