unable to display current owner - can't change owner
I have a file that I can move/delete or take ownership of. The file was copied over from another backup drive and was not created locally on the machine.
If I do a properties on the file, then security tab, hit 'Continue' for the UAC stuff.. the page shows the current owner as 'Unable to display current owner'
When I try to change the owner to myself (member of local administrator group) I get an 'Access Denied'
How can I change the security of this file so I can delete it?
OS: Win7 64bit SP1

I was able to just straight delete the file by booting into safe mode and trying there.
