You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make it changes to this file

The correct way to delete an OS is to delete its partition in Disk management after deactivating it, using Diskpart Delete Partition Override command, or using a Partition Manager like free Partition Wizard bootable CD.

However if you have a lot of data on the partition which cannot be easily transferred out then sometimes deleting the Windows folder is done - but it is never easy and is like pulling teeth.

First gain ownership using this: Take Ownership Shortcut

Folders which won't Delete have to be stripped out from the lowliest file by rightclicking Security tab to full permission Everyone.
 
it works! flawlessly yeah i have some file to that drive so i can't just delete the partition or reformat it but using the "Take Ownership Shortcut" it really did the job well done..thanks man
