    I've seen MANY people say do this and that but EDIT and choosing another owner is not possible. Is there a tool to remove it?The microsoft people F%$# us on this one. They not only made it super hard but ALSO impossible. Think of it. In order to delete it you need to get permission from the program to change the permission of the program by changing the user so that you can now delete it. Why did they make it so hard? Why did they even make it impossible? And they don't have a viable fix on their own Microsoft website.So how do you get rid of these when they don't allow you to change an

  2. 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.
