Can't Delete Non-Empty Folders
Ever since reformatting my C drive and reinstalling Windows 7 from the recovery partition on my hard drive, I've been having an intermittent problem. When I try to delete a folder that is not empty, Windows throws up an error message saying I need permission. However, I am the only user, I am an Admin and I created the folder. In every instance, the only thing in the folder is an empty folder which was created when I unzipped an archive I downloaded. I've deleted the contents of the folder, then tried deleting the parent folder, but get the error - see image below. The permissions of the folder within the parent are read only, but I can delete it. After doing so, I can then delete the parent.
Obviously this isn't a major problem, but it is annoying. I never had this problem before. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.
