How To Delete IconCache.db When It Says Acess Denied?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you receive access denied error while deleting the iconcache file.



I would not recommend changing permissions system wide as this might affect the system and make the operating system unstable.



I would suggest you to run the Iconcache deletion command using certain command line switches and check. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Now, past the following commands and press Enter after each command:
   

• ie4uinit.exe -show
  
• taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
  
• DEL /A /Q "%localappdata%\IconCache.db"
  
• DEL /A /F /Q "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache*"
  
• shutdown /r /f /t 00
  

If you are still unable to delete the Iconcache file, we can enable hidden admin account and from there we can try to delete the Iconcache file. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Type in the following commands one by one and hit
   Enter:
   
   net user administrator /active:yes
   
4. After enabling hidden admin, navigate to C:\Users\<Your_Username>\Appdata\Local and delete the
   IconCache file.
   

Note: Make sure to disable hidden admin by using the command
net user administrator /active:no after performing the troubleshooting steps.

Windows 10 says I'm not admin

Hi Erina,

What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

I would suggest you to go to control panel and check your user account status. Right click on the start button and select control panel in the menu. In the control panel, click on the 'view by' option in the top right and select 'large icons'. Now, click
on 'User accounts' and check if your account is listed as Administrator. If it is not displayed as Admin account, click on the option 'Change user account type' and select 'Administrator' and apply changes. Try these steps and let us know the results. If you
have already tried, please let us know what all troubleshooting steps you have tried so far, so that we can provided you suggestion accordingly.
