Hi all,
I have a slightly new twist on the undeletable files problem in Vista. I
have a couple of undeletable folders. When I installed Vista, I set up a
couple of users that I subsequently deleted using Control Panel. The trouble
is that their directories are still there in C:\users. If I try to delete
them, I usually get some sort of permission denied message saying that they
are open in another application or something. I also had McAfee anti-virus
software installed on my computer. I used Control Panel to remove it as fast
as I possibly could but the folder is still there in c:\program files, and it
too is undeletable.
I have tried every solution I can find on the internet, including the
takeown / ACLS batch file, various downloaded utilities, using rd from a
command prompt after shutting down explorer in task manager, etc. Nothing
seems to work... It's driving me up the wall.
As always, I'd be really grateful for any suggestions.
Best wishes,
James.
