    yes, i already try to delete the folders from safe mode. I can delete the folder from Unlocker now but, there this weird lock on every folder? I'm not sure why i have lock on my folders?

    Just so you know i uninstalled a program awhile back but i still have the leftovers files in my program data & Appdate files?

    LIke Adobe, Avg, Apple, Apple Computer, ect... Please help.


    You have been denied permission to access this folder.

    To gain access to this folder you will need to use the
    security tab.

    Why i'm getting this message? I'm sorry guys i am not a window guy, Please help

    Right-Click the program/folder > General tab > Uncheck the Read-Only Attribute

    Have you tried a third-party program such CCleaner or Windows Disk Cleanup to clear any of the temporary files?

    Yes Sir, actually i try both but i got still a lot leftover files in Appdate & ProgramData. Also that's
    the only reason I'm getting a lot errors in my Window Event Viewer.

    I'm not sure if this works but is there any other safe way that i can try to clean my PC?
    I mean by clean window and re-install but the problem is i don't have any CD? Please help me

    If you mean a complete reinstall of Windows 7 then try;

    Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

    After creating your Windows 7 Installation DVD/USB, then you may want to completely clean the hard-drive using the diskpart command with cleanall command.

    Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command

    Please note all your data will be deleted (including your OS) and can't be recovered.

    Hope this helps,

    Don't worry about the Diskpart command, just follow;

    Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

    Just remember that when reinstall Windows 7, all your programs and data will be deleted, so you may want to transfer your important data onto a different computer or USB drive.

    You wanted to have a clean reinstall as stated in post #14.
