You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder...
Hi, I'm hoping someone can provide a simple answer to this problem. I am trying to delete a folder (and all of the files in it) and I am getting the following errors: 1. You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder. (Continue/Skip/Cancel) 2. I select Continue 3. You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from MyPC\Bob to make changes to this folder. (Try Again/Cancel) The problem is that I am logged in as MyPC\Bob, and Bob is an Administrator account. So, how exactly do I ask myself for permission ? And how do I give myself permission ? Bob has 'Full control' of the folder. Bob is the owner of the folder. But Bob cannot delete the folder because Bob has to ask Bob for permission..... /boggle. L.

Hi, I would like to confirm what files you would like to delete? In Windows 7, the files in system folder are protected. To delete them, you may try to disable User Account Controller (UAC). Does it work? Regards,Arthur Li - MSFT
