  1. Help deleting files and removing system and trusted installer permissions


    So I installed Mozilla Fire Fox for a bit and I didn't quite like it. I uninstalled and still have some mozilla.browser files and firefox.browser files on my computer. Whenever I try to delete them, I get blocked by SYSTEM, or TrustedInstaller. Help would be appreciated to delete these files. Thanks!

    :)

  3. Folder Permissions Remove System

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    Let me answer your query on Windows 10.

    Please be informed that you cannot remove the system entry, However you can add/remove permission for a particular user.

    The Group or user name section lists all the accounts on the computer. If you want to prevent a user to accessing the folder, you may deny/remove all permission for that particular user.

    The system account and the administrator account (Administrators group) have the same file privileges, but they have different functions. The system account is used by the operating system and by services that run under Windows.

    I suggest you not to remove permissions for SYSTEM entry.

    Hope the information helps, do reply if you need further assistance.



    Thank you.

  4. Help deleting files and removing system and trusted installer permissions

    Trusted Installer

    Hi Diane ,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    I see that you are facing issues when you are trying to delete files.

    Trusted installer's main function is to enable installation, removal and modification of Windows Updates and optional system components.

    For this issue, I suggest that you try to change the ownership of the file that you are not able to delete and check if the issue persist.

    Please login to administrator account before performing the below steps.

    Follow the steps mentioned below to change the ownership of the file or folder:

    • Press and hold the folder that you want to take ownership of, then tap
      Properties
      . (If you are using a mouse, right-click the folder, and then click
      Properties.)
    • Tap or click the Security tab, tap or click Advanced, then tap or click
      Change. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    • Type the name of the person that you want to give ownership to, and then click
      Check Names.
    • Note: the account name for the person that you are assigning ownership to is displayed.
    • Click OK.
    • If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders that are contained in this folder, select the
      Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.
    • Click OK.
    After trying all the above steps I would suggest you to try deleting the specific file which you weren’t able to delete.

    Reply us if you have further queries we will be glad to assist you.
