I can't delete a file. It says I need administrator permission

I can not remove this file, yahtzee - dm.exe.  It says I need administrator permissions. But I AM the administrator and the only user of my PC.  I tried to change the permissions of the folder and the permissions of the file.  No luck.  McAfee keeps popping up saying it is a potentially unwanted program, but it cannot delete the file.  I tried several other malware cleaners, Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware and they do not even see it as a threat.

I want my computer.  How do I do that?

Using Windows 7

Delete the file in Safe Mode. To enter Mode safe mode repeatedly press the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the diagnostic menu where you can choose Safe Mode. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How can I delete a file in use by demon updater?

    How can I delete a file that says it's in use by Daemon updater.exe?

    I have a computer with a hard drive of GB 914, who recently said that it is impossible to install a program because the disk is full. While they inspected, I found that it only reported about 200 GB of usage and after you remove files non-essential, I released 57 GB of disk space.

    I made sure to show all files and installed a file tree Locator and found a log of 684 GB file but when I tried to remove it, it said that the file was not in the specified location. Then I manually found the file in system32 tree and he said that it is impossible to delete the file because it is used by daemonupdater.exe.

    can anyone help please?

    Credonem, welcome to the forum.

    I suggest start safe mode to see if that helps with your problem.  Safe mode starts only the drivers and programs needed.

    Cannot delete the file.  Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

    I got this file from my friend got sent - is a word document, I had on their computer.  So I tried to use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, temporary internet files and files program downloaded.  Does not work.

    When I check the properties, there is no security tab so I can't transfer ownership in this way.

    I don't want to experiment using the way of the transfer of ownership command prompt as the name of the file is several sentences long.  I can't rename it either, of course.

    Windows 7, a week and I already have a stupid problem which has already lost an hour of my time.

    What I did was to create a Notepad file that was empty and saved in the same location as the file that won't go away.  Once registered.  I click with the right button on the new file and rename the exact name as the file problem.  Don't forget to change the file extension (ex: .doc)

    ex file problem: word.doc

    new file: word.doc

    as long as they match eachother exactly you should see the file problem disappear and once that's gone, you can delete the new file created.

  • Can I delete the files

    IM my Toshiba A80 there are four files in C:\ driver:

    I think that these files are windows xp family (backup) CD. Can I delete these files?

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should leave these files. If you n t need Tools CD you can remove it, but in my opinion, you should burn all the tools on CD before you delete it. It may happen that you need the tools later.

    Start please help Toshiba and under protection and Fix, you can find an option Create CD drivers and tools. This option allows you to create an external backup of the drivers support.

    How can I delete a file on my iOS device that I downloaded from my iCloud? I just want to keep the Preview on my iOS device without using my storage iOS for the entire file. This means that the file is still in the iCloud and available to be downloaded to any device.

    In practice, I want to be able to scan and download through my documents located in my iCloud and once I didn't need them on my iOS device I would like 'load their return to the cloud' to my storage of the iOS device is not used.

    Thank you in advance to the community!

    The only way I found to do that once a file has been downloaded is to remove it and add it again through either from Finder on Mac or iCloud.com.
