Hi, Windows system files are owned by the TrustedInstaller service by default, and Windows File Protection will keep them from being overwritten. To delete them, you need to grand yourself full control over the folder. Click Start, type CMD and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter key combination to open an administrator command prompt. To take ownership of the file, you’ll need to use the takeown command. Here’s an example: takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\Test.txt The folder Test.txt under C:\Windows\System32 is the one you want to delete. After taking ownership of the file, please run the cacls command to give yourself full control rights to the file: cacls C:\Windows\System32\Test.txt /G Magon:F Please note: Magon is my username, replace it with your username. After that, try deleting the folders. If still no go, in case any application is using them, please boot into Safe Mode and repeat the steps above.
