Windows 10: Dism Temp Files

I can delete dism temp Files in %temp% and bring it to recycle bin. But I can't delete this temp file in recycle bin because it needs permission. I can't change types of permission because it greyed out.

DISM unable to locate Install.wim file

Nothing wrong with using install.esd

@EasyGoingPat
FYI, install.esd or install.wim both result the extraction of the component store files to temp folder (%USERPROFILE%\Appdata\local\temp) then use them to repair.

1. Copy install.esd to your Desktop
2. From Admin command, run: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
3. then run: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:ESD:%USERPROFILE%\install.esd:1 /LimitAccess

For Step 2 & 3. Just copy and paste the command to make sure the syntax is correct. See screen shot:
NOTE: Step 2 in the screen shot will be different from yours since I have no corruption.
