    Can Windows (old) folder be deleted


    If you like, you could use the "Take Ownership" context menu from the tutorial below to make it easier to take ownership of them, and hopefully be able to delete afterwards.

    Thanks. I ran the reg file and implemented the take ownership. I then rebooted in safe mode + command prompt. I was able to delete a few files, bot mostly I'm still getting "Access Denied."
