These files say I dont have permission to delete them?

bump.... still cant delete them.

I'd have to say that those weird folders are System Folders, created by Windows.
Just leave them where they are.
If you're trying to gain some HD space there are tons of other (junk) files that you can eliminate.

But as we've talked about extensively on this forum, if you want full control over your files and folders you must "Take Ownership" of them.
Once you are the Owner of a file or folder, you can pretty much do whatever you want with it. (copy it, rename it, move it or Delete it) If it's a system file, just leave it alone.

We've posted the download link to the "Take Ownership" program (script) several times.
Nowadays, whenever I set up a Vista or Win-7 PC, I just go ahead and install "Take Ownership" and then I take ownership of all my main folders, like Program Files and Windows.

When you run the "Take Ownership" script on your PC, it puts the 'Take Ownership' option in your right click context menu. So you can find any file or folder with Windows Explorer, right click on it, then left click on "Take Ownership" and you've just become the OWNER of that file or folder.

Good luck and Happy Holidays!

These are a bunch of junk files on my media HDD that I want removed. They shouldnt be there.

And as I already mentioned before, I've downloaded & installed the "Take Ownership" option, yet when I take ownership & then right click & try to delete it still tells me I dont have permission.

And the "Unlocker" feature for right clicking wouldnt install.

So any other ideas?

What was tyhe error message when you tried to install unlocker.

Did you try running as Administrator?

Unlocker never got past MSE when it was turned on. It seemed to install, yet wouldnt be there when I right clicked a file.

Then I was told to turn MSE off & install unlocker, which I did. Unlocker was still not there when I right clicked and as soon as I turned MSE back on it went off and removed the file again.

And yes, as far as I know I have everything setup as admin. I just cant believe its this hard to delete 3 BS files from my media HDD.

3 files name this:

24bdcf01ba209bcd7eeed6bab2

cc8c0d8336ca7b74d6553997e0

e5c0c7245f90e4eec2e6b909eca6

The first 2 have an update folder in that I cant open & the 3rd has some AMD64 file in it with a bunch of other files.

All files have "Special Permissions" checked under security.

Johnny are these registry files?
Give us a screenshot please.

Nevermind I got it. I was able to go deep enough into the files where it gave me the Security Tab option & I was able to change the permissions in there to ownership to delete them all.

thanks guys.

I don't know anything about MSE , but did you try running the setup file as Administrator
