Cannot delete the program data files

I need to remove some log files for a program that I was running.  The files are in the program data, but when I try to delete the logs I get the following message:

File access denied

You need permission to perform this action

Your must be authorized by administrators to make changes to this file

(Name of the folder( )

(Date of creation)

Question is, how do I get permission.  It's my personal computer at home and I really need to delete these log files.  Thank you.

See if that helps.

    Hello

    1. what kind of file is it?

    If you know the location of the file, I recommend you start in safe mode and then remove the file and check. If you are able to delete the file, then start in normal mode and try to uninstall the program.

  • Cannot find the locale data files. Please reinstall

    I had a problem with Google Chrome, so I uninstalled via the control panel. I then reinstalled and I have this problem. I always present in my programs in the watched folder, but when I select to demolished, he said ' wait until the current program has finished install or changing.» I have no other program install or change. If I try to open Google, anywhere Progams, taskbar, all programs or directly from the .exe LocalApps it gives me the "could not find the locale data files. Please reinstall.

    I found the answer to my question. It seems that you can build processes, I don't understand why. For example I had a problem with my windows Explorer crashing. I disabled all the startup process of msconfig.

    In my view, there must be something in there that closes a completed process.
    Then I had, unknown to me, when I posted this problem, six or seven cases Google chrome showing the the Task Manager process tab. When I quit all instances of Google, I was able to finish the removal process and re - install Google Chrome.
    I just checked right now and I have six Google shown 3 rundll32.exe and two taskeng.exe bodies. I've never seen no more than one instance of anything in this tab before today.
    Disabling all startup stuff does not solve my problem to explore some way so I'll allow them once again.
    Thank you for helping me and I hope that someone can get useful information from my travels.

  • Cannot delete the program files x 86

    Hello
    I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 32 bit 64 bit.

    This is still a Program Files x 86 folder that I am trying to get rid. I managed to remove most of the files, and I was able to change the permission of owner so I can delete some other files.

    However, no matter how I change ownership and permission, I am unable to remove Adobe files and common files.

    Thanks for your suggestions, tips.

    You still need the x 86 folder.  If it was the 32-bit "remains", he would have the x 86 in the name of the folder.  This file is required and is used by many points of 32 bits, which are present in the base 64-bit OS, as objects of assistance of the browser plugins like flash and all the 32-bit programs you run (as all programs in the world, almost, like email clients, email programs, media players, etc.).

    Do not delete this folder.

    If it was useful, you can vote by clicking on the green triangle. If it solves the problem, click on propose as answer. Thank you!

  • find the location of the program database file

    I'm having the same problem. I tried the approach of a file 'save data' and appearing in the file of users/app data.

    There are 2 problems with this: 1) application data file does not appear in the Explorer for me to access, even if I know it is exisits and 2) I'm trying to transfer a backup file, and the program is very specifically looking for a c:\programdata\... etc.

    Hi Joan,

    Application data are not a real record, it is a crossroads which is only there for backward compatibility. A crossroads is a shortcut that redirects the programs and files to another location, and for the most part hidden.

    This particular junction points to the C:Users\username\AppData\Roaming folder.
