Windows 10: can't delete windows.old after changing myself to the owner

keep getting blocked trying to delete windows.old to free up 17gb on my SSD which is my win10 os drive
I thought it might work if I was able to delete the sub folders first, I was able to delete a couple of them.
I have this same problem with all the remaining windows.old folders
initially they were owned by the default TrustedInstaller

if I am admin and owner why even ask this permission?




after hitting continue, I get this




here is the permissions that I thought would give delete capability


:)

 

Old Owner Name

I bought a used Axim. I changed the Device ID in Settings -> System ->

About. I changed the owner name in Settings -> Personal -> Owner Info.

But when I use Send To on a Windows 7 "desktop", the option for my

Axim lists the old owner's name. Not a major problem, but definitely

annoying. I couldn't find that name in the registry (on the Axim).

Can anyone suggest another place to look?

Thanks.

 

Changing device names and deleting devices

Yeah, you can't delete old/retired machines from the "my grid" page. The only option you have really is to wait a few days then change how it sorts the list:





Oh, and Mike is correct, by changing the windows "computer name" it'll change on the "my grid" page.

 

Unable, as owner, to delete music files in Windows 10

I transferred my documents from my old Dell to my new HP with Windows 10. I am trying to get rid of the files I don't need, but there are certain folders in my MUSIC FOLDER that I can't delete. It says "You require permission from Desktop-J63MM1J\DebyS to
make changes to this folder".

I have gone into security and made sure that I am listed as the owner with full permissions, and I am. I have read many threads and tried every thing suggested, nothing works. I'm not sure what else to do.
