File that just won't delete
Hi all
I've been lazy setting up my new computer, and I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate on an SSD, and just hooked up the HDD from my old one intact. I don't want to format my HDD, since it's got a lot of documents, pictures etc. on it. But I did want to delete the old Program Files, and the redundant Windows installation. Which has worked just fine using the takeown + icacls routine.
This has left me with one single file, D:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10b.exe which just won't delete. I've tried the takeown + icacls routine in safe mode, but it still won't go. Takeown returns "successful" and icacls returns "processed", but when I try to delete or attrib -r it still says "access denied"...
Any ideas?
