Can not delete folder

[ALP]

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!

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.

Add "Take Ownership" to right-click menu in Vista

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?

 

[ALP]

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

What's DRM?

How do I get to the registry?
Thanks.

Ok, I got into the registry and it still won't delete.
Same error message.

 

[Bob]

Assuming you correctly imported the registry file, right click on the folder
you want to delete and choose "take ownership". Then delete the folder.

Never mind, buy more disk space and forget about it

I think I did it correctly.
Maybe you can write EXACTLY step-by-step so I can be sure.
By the way, I've seen on the board and others throughout the net that nobody
seems to know how to reslove this specific error.

Did you try to right click and take ownership?
