I have a folder with a copy of a DVD.
I can not delete it.
When I try, I get an error message with this code:
0x80070091
How can I delete this file.
It won't even delete after I restart, nor in safe mode.
Please help!!! Thank you!

Try using Unlocker: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

I tried and it says there is no locking handle.
It won't delete even with the unlocker program.
I'll restart and see if something changes.

I re-started my computer and it still won't delete even with this unlocker
program.

This will probably enable you to delete it.

I'm trying it.
How long should changing/taking ownership take?
I did what I'm supposed to do, and it has been quite a while (half an hour)
and my computer still says it is in the process of changing/taking ownership.
How long does it normally take?

It should happen instantly. If you're still waiting stop the process and go
to your registry. Click File>Import and navigate to the file.

Maybe this has something to do with DRM?

I left my computer running for 5 hours and it still didn't complete the change!
