Not sure if this is the right forum for this.

I'm having trouble deleting my Windows.Old folder. I have tried many things, changing security settings, taking ownership, etc. but nothing works.

It says:
"You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from RAWR\Administrator to make changes to this folder."

The thing is, I'm on the Administrator account of the computer RAWR and UAC is disabled.

How do I select the Windows.old folder?

EDIT: Never mind, found it. Will update this again if it works.



Thanks it worked.
