Hello
Thanks for posting your query to the Microsoft forum. I will definitely help you with this.
This problem occurs because the Recycle Bin does not recognize mounted volumes. For example, assume that the structure of the next unit is used:
C:\Host-dir is the mount point for a separate 9-GB drive.
If you try to delete a folder with the path C:\Host-dir\Mydir, Windows Explorer interprets the folder as being on drive C and tries in vain to move it to the trash on the C drive.
Use the SHIFT + DELETE key combination. This allows to bypass the Recycle Bin.
I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.
Method 1: I suggest you run the command in elevated command prompt and see if it helps below.
- Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
- Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click OK.
- In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
- TAKEOWN /F C: /A
4 then try to run the following command.
- TAKEOWN /F C:
This will give you the admin and your permissions of full account to all files on the C: drive
Method 2: Activate hidden admin account
1. press Windows + R keyboard button.
2. type cmd in the run bar.
3. in the command prompt , type this command: net user administrator / Active: Yes
4. press enter and restart the computer.
Try to delete the folder Window.old .
If you are able to do so disable the hidden admin account.
To do this, follow the steps:
1. press Windows + R keyboard button.
2. type cmd in the run bar.
3. in the command prompt , type this command: net user administrator / active: No.
4. press enter and restart the computer.

Click Security.
Click on Edit under a quote "to change permissions, click on change."

original title: remove administrator account or remove password
I am trying to remove a user administrator account or remove the password and I get the error message below. Also, I can't delete the password as an administrator in Windows 7 32 bit or delete the account. I get this error message "Windows cannot remove the password. "Password policy or account require the account has a password. I tried to create another admin account, but it does however not take away the password or delete the account else
Someone has put a policy on your machine to enforce some rules for passwords. Best is to ask that person to change these rules for you. Alternatively, you can run gpedit.msc, then follow this path to edit yourself: Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Windows settings / security settings / account policy / password policy.
Note also that:
-You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account.
-Administrator with a blank password accounts is a big security risk. -

I can't remove a user of Windows 7 that I created. I don't know the user in Control Panel.
When I created the user I tried to make my computer as a VPN server.
I did these steps:

1: open the startmenu and open "ncpa.cpl" (this will open network connections)
2: click on the spare key to be able to click on 'File' in the menu
3 'new incoming Connection"(and I got a list of users)
4: I created a new user in this window, called "jonathanvpn".
next steps is not important, the user is created. and I can't delete the user "jonathanvpn".
I don't find in the control panel. just my account and an inactive STRP. (I am the computer administrator)
I also tried in the CMD (command Promt) to type net "user jonathanvpn" and I can't find the user. I saw information about the user.
Now, I tried to type net "user jonathanvpn/del" in trying to remove the user, but it says "access denied."
How can I remove this user?

Unfortunately, your key is an account MSDN is not intended for resale. You must ask for an immediate refund from the supplier - do NOT accept the offer of a new key and do NOT waste time with an RMA number (whatever they are trying to do is to go beyond the claims of 45 days or avoid you window send evidence of their crimes to authorities)Please read the following checklist...
