    Takeown failing to own folder.


    So I have this old account that I don't use on my local drive C: and want to delete it.But I can't because I don't have permission. I used the takeown command with cmd.Cmd running as Administrator and using the command: takeown /f <folder> /r /d yThe error I get is "INFO: Access is denied. "C:Users\*\folderIt would be really helpful if I could delete the folder.

    :)
