Hi :] Need delete (S) Program(s) Files (x86)

This worked for me: takeown /F "C:\Program Files (x86)" /R /A && cacls "C:\Program Files (x86)" /T /grant administrators:F && rmdir /S /Q "C:\Program Files (x86)"\

1. Copy this line.
2. In the command prompt (with admin rights), right click paste.
3. Press Enter.

Try this commands:

Open command prompt with Admin Privilege and write:
takeown /f "C:\Programs Files (x86)" /r /d n
icacls "C:\Programs Files (x86)" /grant administrators:F /t

Then delete the folder Program files (x86)
