Can't deleted XP mode folder

[Mitch656]

i installed xp mode and then uninstalled it and now i have a folder is my Crogram files and i cant deleted it.

Welcome!

You may see if taking ownership of the folder helps any.

That sounds like you're doing it right. Now try deleting the folder.

 

[Mitch656]

nope still the same error message

i cant even deleted folders inside it.


Would maybe renaming work?

 

[Jonathan_King]

I doubt renaming it will work, but feel free to play around.

Try deleting the file from safe mode.

If that does not work, see this post: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/61420-folder-wont-delete-argh-3.html#post562969

 

[Mitch656]

okay well renaming will change name but not deleted >:l i will try in safe mode after i finshe doing my Sytem image.

In the mean time i shall read that post

 

[Jonathan_King]

Actually, try the post before booting up in safe mode. If it works, you don't have to reboot.

 

[Mitch656]

Seems to hard for a 14 year old like me to do...

i will just finishe partiting and try safe mode even tho when i press F8 it never works

 

[Jonathan_King]

Wait, weren't you the one Greg had doing all kinds of tricks a few months ago?

 

[Mitch656]

yes

 

[Mitch656]

im in SAFE mode now ands its not working

should i try with your take ownership?

 

[Jonathan_King]

Sure, but I suggest following the instructions in this post: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/61420-folder-wont-delete-argh-3.html#post562969

That worked for me when I had a stubborn file.

 

[Mitch656]

D: it worked with the take owner ship!!!

I shall rep you when i get back into my normal system

 

[Jonathan_King]

Great, glad that worked for you. Remember that link, and use it if anyone else has the same problem.
