Cannot delete the old folder separate disk windows

I had a system OS 3 for a while, Vista, Win7 RC and Win7 Pro.

Win7 RC is pleased and I want to delete records from his drive to free up space.

I took possession of the folder (including subfolders) windows and my account is an administrator with full control account, BUT when I try to delete the old directory of windows first it says I need give permission, I click on continue, she goes through the files, and then a box indicates that I need permission from account owner Joan to continue.

I'm logged into this account. This account is me, but when I click on continue, it says access denied.

It's the same with the old directory program files.

I can't delete, or the old directory of users.

None of them is used. All are owned by mey account (there are only two accounts put in place on my PC and mine's administrator.)

I am running windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed on my E drive.

The files that I want to delete are on the c drive.

How this computer to recognize that my admin account has full right, remove the obsolete operating system?

Thank you

Can archaeologist, you access the OS Win 7 RC?

If so, use it "Folder Options" in the control panel.

To all the "hidden files" readable.

You say that you are the administrator, you should be able to do.

You also try to remove Vista, as well?

Do the same with this.

Why you be "denied access" is... because these system files 'hidden '.

Once this has been done, you can now in Win 7 (the one you want to keep!).

In administrative tools, select 'Create and format hard disk partitions.

Right click on the BLUE bar, drive hard 'in question.

This will give you... .with a drop-down window, containing...

Opened.

Explore

Mark the Partition as "Active".

Change drive letter and paths.

FORMAT!             -(Third, make just... use this format.)

Extend Volume... (This will be the second to be used, if the button remove one has not already removed those'hidden Files/Folders!)

Reduce the Volume...

    One thing you can do if you can not do the work for something like this in Windows is to download a Linux Live CD and boot from that. When you start in the Live CD, you can delete the folder.

    If you follow this way you won't have to reinstall your right boot OS into something else for a moment.

  • Cannot delete the file/folder even in Administrator Mode or Mode safe

    I. hate. Vista. Windows XP has NEVER been this difficult to work with!

    I recently installed MagicISO. Didn't like it, so I deleted it. He left behind a small dll file and the folder. I wanted to remove both, couldn't.

    Tried safe mode. FAILED

    Administrator account I tried. FAILED

    Tried both together. FAILED

    Help me please? How could I not have permission to delete a file in administrator mode? Seriously, Windows Vista is just messed up all unrecognizable... * rant rant rant *.

    In fact, I thought that the answer.

    Went to safe mode.

    Used ShellExViewer (RUN AS ADMIN) and disabled MagicISO.

    Walked over to the directory and delete the .dll and the folder that it is.

    Restarted my computer in normal mode.

    Problem solved.

    Thank you all for helping me. I appreciate it a lot! I don't know what I'd do without you people. : D

  • Cannot delete the file/folder

    It is a problem of two parts:

    1. There is an mp3 file on my desk that I can open it, but I can't move or delete.  I created this mp3 myself and it's on my desktop for about two months.

    When I try to delete this file, a preparation to recycle bar rises, saying "to discover the elements" but never progresses.  I can't close without stop force windows Explorer.

    2. a friend was recently transferred several files containing MP3s on my desk.  When I open the folder, windows Explorer starts blowing (the charge of the Bar starts to slowly fill but taking so long, I don't know that never completed) and my CPU load goes way up.  I can't open any mp3 file (after 3 minutes, VLC media player opens and the file name appears in the playlist, but does not have).  I am also unable to move or delete these folders.

    I ran a virus scan and nothing is detected.

    When I try to delete these files/folders, a bar of recycling starts, but never progresses and after awhile I cancel it.

    How can I delete these files/folders?

    Chris, try this command at the command prompt:

    cd\recycler
    attrib - r s h * / s/d
    del * / f/s/q
    RD /s /q.

    Kind regards

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    Delete the existing Partitions during the process.

  • Cannot delete the folder (access denied / authorization to administrator)

    Recently, after a good 6 months to give a fair chance to Windows 8, I decided to reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop. Installation went very well, no problems (it's the original operating system on this machine). When I installed 7 I didn't format my drive, and so all my files/directories have been moved to the Windows.old folder. I had already backed up everything so I tried to delete the record and was invited to give permission to the administrator. I clicked through and received the error message: you need permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this file.

    I know that this problem is everywhere, but before dismiss you this as a pointless post, that's what I tried (unsuccessfully) solve this problem:
    > Delete manually CMD with elevated privileges (no results, "access denied" after each item has been deleted in vain)
    > Turn off UAC (no change)
    > Delete using Shift + Delete to bypass the Recycle Bin
    > Add a DWORD value in the registry (UseSystemForSystemFolders)
    > Start in safe mode with CMD prompt, could not remove with CMD or via Explorer
    > Activate the hidden administrator account and remove using the Explorer/CMD
    > Change the folder permissions, raise my account permissions and creating a new user name or the group with my account with full access
    I spent the best part of 24 hours trying to solve this problem. I would like to avoid reinstalling Windows because I had already transferred 200 GB of data on my computer before I realized it was a problem. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply. I totally forgot to include Unlocker on my list of failed attempts. It has disabled a lock that was in place, but has not changed and he could not remove the file. I tried to move the folder into a zip file too, so I could delete just that but while I am able to move the folder on my drive hard I can't move it to a zip archive.

    =========================================
    Sorry, I thought that Unlocker is worth the try.

    After all, you tried, I doubt that the following articles
    would be useful but they both recommend the disk cleanup.
