Windows 10: Win 10 Saying I Need Permission to Remove Flash - HELP!

I uninstalled flash player from my PC. But some files and folders remain. I'm trying to remove those also but I get an error stating I need permission to do so. The following are folders and its contents that I cant remove:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player

How do I gain permission to remove these completely?

permissions win 10

I initially installed Win 10 freeware and later purchased win 10 pro and installed it without problems. BUT then I discovered that I had 540 Meg of disk space consumed by "windows.old" Normally this would not be an issue except that the file was protected
by "SYSTEM" permissions and I was helpless against it with simple administrator permissions. I also had issue with "Windows/system32/macromd/flash" which had permissions of "TrustedInstaller." Once again I as administrator could not work with this file because
it had all of the extra permissions in the world... stuff I had never heard of. So what is a poor old user/administrator to do? I want that **** out of my system but who do I call? Ghostbusters? I need help cleaning this stuff out of my system. Is there
a person who can do it? And why are there permissions that the administrator cannot change or eliminate... is this coded in China like Norton and Apple? Help ya'll

Hi yahanna

I would suggest you use the Adobe tool to remove Flash Player.

Found here...

Uninstall Flash Player for Windows

 

Run CMD as admin and copy/paste:

Code: takeown /f "%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash" /a /r /d y icacls "%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash" /inheritance:r /grant:r AdministratorsOI)(CI)F /t /c del "%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\*" /s /f /q takeown /f "%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash" /a /r /d y icacls "%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash" /inheritance:r /grant:r AdministratorsOI)(CI)F /t /c del "%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\*" /s /f /q takeown /f "%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player" /a /r /d y icacls "%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player" /inheritance:r /grant:r AdministratorsOI)(CI)F /t /c del "%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player\*" /s /f /q[/quote]

 

I tried it. It doesnt remove residual folders/files.

[/quote] I read that Flash is embedded into Win10. That removing any files or folders from it would create great problems later on if I decide to reinstall it. What do you think?
