  2. You need permimssion from <Computername>/<CurrentUsername> to delete this folder

    I had some folders in my C drive from a program that I was trying to delete. However, when I tried to delete them, it told me I needed administrator priveledge to delete them. My account is an administrator, so I went ahead and clicked continue. However,
    it gave me an error saying

    "you require permission from MyLaptop/tyler to make changes to this folder", despite that being the current user. I can traverse some parts of the folder inside, but I can't get to any of the lowest layers and view the files. Is there any way to force delete
    the folder, as it's something I would like to get rid of and reinstall.

    Thanks!

  3. Can't remove windows.old because of point64.sys

    I used "Wise Force Deleter" to delete the point64.sys file. This was the first time I've used that utility, but it doesn't seem to work for folders and couldn't delete the "Windows.old" folder. I changed that folder & its children owner to myself, and
    then deleted normally.

    Looks like some random Windows 10 bug.
