These files say I dont have permission to delete them?

[JohnnyScience]

I have 3 files on my media HDD that tell me I do not have permission to perform this action?

How do I override this and delete them?

Thanks.

 

[aem]

what files are these?

Have you checked the Security tab to see if you have full control?

Right-click the file, Properties and go to Security Tab.

 

[JohnnyScience]

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.

If you really want to remove them, make sure whatever account you are logged in with has been Given Full control. There are other restrictions eg from folder and parent folder permissions so you just have to sust it out.

Are ALL the acounts/groups in the Security have ONLY Special Permission?

Go into the Advance tab and tell us what it is?

I'm under the main/only account which is the admin and its still not letting me delete them though?

when I go to advance there are 2 things that show up

Administrators
SYSTEM

both say special, not inherited, this folder only

When I double click, they both then show all boxes checked.

Could these perhaps be something from ubuntu?

w7 Administrators Group is not like Xp or any previous OS's where these give up Full Control if you are in it. Where are these files placed, and i'm still not sure what these files are (extension??). Note the exact location of the files and log on as the Root Administrator account and try and delete it.

NB: You may need to enable the root admin, and give it a new password if you don't know what it is.

Try it.

You need to take ownership of these files prior to deleting them.. See Brinks tutorial on doing this -=> Here

I'm still trying to get this figured out.

Why is this so hard.

I've attached a pic. It says I have full permission, but yet I still cant delete it?

I tried that installed it, didnt get an unlocker feature when I right click a file & it also set off my MSE?

When you right-click on a file of folder it should appear on the context menu.

Yours isn't?

I've ran it on Windows 7 with no problems.

Yes,. MSE will pop up,. because it interacts with the lowest part of the operating system''

Virus scanner don't like this,. but it is a false positive

Did it ask to install a driver?

Did it ask to install a driver?

It ran through a full install process...?

 

[reghakr]

Like I said,. I don't know what MSE does with a suspected virus file.

Look into the options pg MSE.

Or just simply uninstall it

Here;s wht Unlocker looks likwe......post #12

@JohnnyScience
In the file properties under security, if your name doesnt show, add it and then give full control.
According to the pic u have posted, it says, you need permission from JohnnyScience. This means, you are not logged in as JohnnyScience.

Try it and let us know.

Works fine for me On Window 7 Pro.

 

[DrWho]

Hmmmm!
Is this thread saying that "Take Ownership" isn't working to give permission to delete those files?

Works for me!
