Can't delete a folder...

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to delete a directory/folder off of my C drive, and every time I try, I get this error:

You need permission to perform this action.

You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this folder.

I am the administrator.

I don't know why this is happening or what to do about it. Anyone have any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Didn't work...

"You do not permission to view or edit this object's permission settings."

Take ownership of the folders, then you should be able to delete them... Take Ownership Shortcut

I installed this, took ownership of the directory, and yet I still could not delete it.

See this post. It has always worked for the people who try it: Folder won't Delete - ARGH

When I try to use rmdir in command prompt I get...

Access is denied.

Wow, you are making us work this morning. Wish you well

Oddly enough, the first step in your link (Reboot and try deletion again) worked!

Thanks to all of you!
