    Unable to delete file, Access is Denied

    Hello, I am having a trouble about deleting a stubborn file that always asks for admin permission.

    I already tried deleting it as admin only to see a popup "You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this file". There is only one user account which is admin.

    I also tried doing elevated cmd 'del' command that shows "ERROR: Access is denied." and the 'takeown' command which shows the same error.

    I'm using Windows 10 build 10586.545 on an ASUS X550DP Laptop.

    If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful. I'm already very frustrated over this file.

    Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions..

    Cheers,

    Administrator denied access, but only to specific files

    I am the only user of my pc, and as such I am the listed admin. However, I am denied the ability to delete certain files that I created.

    When I try to delete the files, I simply get an error, saying I need access from LAPTOP-xxxxxxxxx/Paul. My account name is Paul Schulz, however, when I use things like CMD, it appears as Paul. I don't understand why there would be a second account that I
    didn't make on my computer, and I'd be even more confused if I was using the right account and still being denied access.

    What to do if I try to delete a file with admin CMD but it says Access Is Denied

    0 byte folder cannot be deleted Problem

    I have a 0 byte folder and I can't delete it. I'm using win 7 64 bit.
    please help *Cry :cry:

    It says access denied when trying, please login as admin blah blah msgs....

    I've searched the net for hours, Trying unlocker, fileassassin, and all other 'file deleter' programs out there. tried on safe mode, tried the cmd commands, even in cmd it says access denied, tried the closing explorer.exe and doing the command. I tried changing permissions and atrributes and it says you do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings. I logged in as the Administrator and still no hope.

    the folder originally contained all my movies but since then i moved(using the move command) all of them someplace else(on another hdd) and I thought it was gone but the folder is still there, 0 bytes. It was shared when i deleted it and still appeared on the shared folders list but inaccessible coz it was already deleted so i 'unshared' the folder from the shared folders list. and so the problem began. the folder is still there and it is undeletable

    One surefire way to do it without deleting my files is copying all other files to another HDD and reformat it and copy it back again but my hdd is currently contains 1 tb out of 1.36 and i dont have any hdds with that free space to use.

    ALSO I CAN'T OPEN THE FOLDER it says

    Location is not available

    'directory' is not accessible.
    Access is Denied.

    i think its more of a windows glitch than a virus problem

    help??? *Frown What to do if I try to delete a file with admin CMD but it says Access Is Denied :(
