    Recently when the Documents and Pictures folder on my local HD were pointing to the ones on OneDrive , someone helped sort this out. ---> https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/pictures-folder-problem/b0382bb0-da3d-41cf-8691-9d2574cc7995



    I think because of this my McAfee created a new personal vault in the documents folder on my local hd. So now I have a folder called McAfee Vaults that I cannot delete, When I do it says I require permission from NGW-W10-L1\ngwill . Which I thought was myself. McAfee say it is not a McAfee problem because the file is no longer part of their system. The folder is empty and I am a bit annoyed that I cannot just delete it. I am assuming I just need to adjust the file protections so that I can delete it. I am sure I am logged in as the user that originally installed McAfee.


    Can anyone please advise on how I can delete abandoned folder. I have managed to move it from OneDrive to my Desktop but cannot delete it.

    Attached are images from the security TAB to show the permissions set.


    Very Grateful for any help - Thanks

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Windows folder security.

    Is there a way to disable ALL windows security on folders? I'm using Windows 7 and trying to replace some system files that may be currupt and I get the "You need permission..." bitching from Windows. I know I can take ownership of the folder through the security tab but it's getting REALLY old having to do this for each and every file and folder I'm trying to overwrite. *Bang Head :banghead:

    I'm the administrator for christ sake. If I want to open my drive and take a crap in it, do I need permission from Microsoft?
