But when I tried to delete a folder of an uninstalled program, It said I needed to contact the administrator when I am the administrator.Why is it doing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Operating system not stated.Once all pathways of your administrative rights, and ownership have been covered and found to be correct, if the folder still cannot be deleted, consider using "Unlocker."You will find it to be a useful tool even after you have solved your problem.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlockerhttp://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/Sort out your admin and ownership rights first. The procedures may seem a little strange to someone who already considers themselves to be the administrator.If you are not quite sure how to do such things, here are some links. Any further information required can be found on the internet.http://technet.micro...y/cc753659.aspxhttp://social.techne...finement=9&ac=8http://msdn.microsof...y/dd298823.aspxhttp://www.ehow.com/...privileges.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
