Windows 7 - Deleting folders: Windows, Program Files etc

| | Deleting folders: Windows, Program Files etc Hello, I have an old 7 installation that I'm having difficulties exterminating. I want to delete: Windows, Program Files, Program Files (x86). I am aware this is not advisable etc etc, but that advice is inapplicable here because the installation is now on a data disk. I've tried some command line stuff with "takeown" and tried giving full permissions, but it is remarkably stubborn. Everything I did partially worked, but ultimately failed to get the job done. Thoughts? Thanks! |

| | Hello Lostkeys, Since this is now a data disk that you do not care about wiping out, have you tried either deleting and formating the drive/partition in Disk Management or formating the drive/partition at boot using your Windows 7 installation disk? |
