Cannot delete file or folder. HELP!!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

Something called block-checker was downloaded onto my computer, adn now I am
unable to delete the folder. When I attempt to delete it, it says:
"Cannot delete block-checker: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not
currently in use." SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!

 

[Guest]

Did you try to access it through your add/remove programs to uninstall it?
In your start menu hightlight the program and see it if has an uninstall.
Try control/alt/delete to get to the task manager to see if it is running.

 

[Guest]

Yes I did uninstall it, but it's still in my computer files, I just want it
off my computer. Any other suggestions????

Try to take ownership of the folder first.

I don't need to take ownership, because I already figured out how to get it
off my computer.

When you opoen the task manager does it show that blockchecker is running?
If it does, highlight it, then click end-task, then try to delete the folder.
Good luck
