SOLVED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I tried deleting these account folders, but to no avail.

I kept the documents in my previous accounts before deleting them. It has no use now. Other documents were easily deleted, except for that GOOGLE DRIVE folder.:mad:

Whenever I try, this always happens:

I am using the administrator's account, but I still get the message all over again!:mad:

I tried deleting the subfolders of GOOGLE DRIVE, but:

EVERYTIME!

I also used this method but look:

"Access is denied."

Sometimes, I also get these messages:

I guess that "S-1-5.." is the deleted account.

I have no idea what to do now.
Help me please? :(
Thank you for those who will! :D
