All folders will be owned by the old user and some may inherit from other folders cleaner will be running as system so can delete files. The quick way is to use free software to convert the drive to fat32 which doesn't have any permission.



I'm still having a bit of trouble with one of my partitions, so thought I'd give this a shot. So I fired up PW Pro, but it returns an error stating that there are encrypted files on the partition. I didn't remember encrypting any, but it turns out that some files that were sent to me were encrypted. I tried copying the files to another drive, but am unable, and also unable to open the files.


How can I decrypt these files? There are approximately 30 or 40 files of various format.


I've tried Properties\General|Advanced, unchecked the 'Encrypt Contents to Secure Data' checkbox, then backed my way out with OK, then apply. The resulting dialog tells me I need to provide admin permission, but access is still denied. I'm logged in as admin and under General|Advanced\details my username is shown under "users who can access this file".
