File Permissions Will Not Allow Deletion

[cosmarchy]

Hello,

When I plug my WD Passport into my laptop and try to delete a folder I get an error saying I need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder.

I click continue but then I get "you require permission from administrator to make changes to this folder" and the only option is to try again or cancel.

I am an administrator and it doesn't matter which owner it is. Everyone has full control but I cannot delete this folder.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Try downloading the "TakeOwnership" registry key and once its installed use the right click take ownership menu on the folder see if that works
