    can't uninstall some programs


    when I try to uninstall epic games I get an error saying "windows can't access the specific device path or file you may not have the appropriate permissions to continue". c\windows\system32\msiexec.exe .

    I changed the file security to give me full control but didn't work either.

    there are a few other programs that don't want to uninstall properly.

    how do I get full control of my computer without having to fight it every step of the way?

    any advice? thanks in advance

    :)
