Unable to delete a folder, folder belongs to unknown users S-1-5-18__

Hello

I have several flolders which I can't delete in Win 7, records apparently belong to some strange users with names starting with S-1-5-21-307... long list of numbers.

I don't know who are these users, if I go to Regedit and look at the profileImagePath, some of these points in my user account, some to the profile system or local service.

Is it safe to remove the ProfileList registry entries, or if not, how can I regain control of these files and get rid of these accounts. I tried the security, the owner tab to change the ownership of the folder, but access is denied.

Thank you

Victor

1 activate the administrator account and password.

3. log on as an administrator.
4. click on start
5. type the three letters cmd
6. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
7 run the process as an administrator.

(Press the Tab key repeatedly until the name of the unwanted folder appears, and then press {Enter})
ICACLS {Tab}
(Press the Tab key repeatedly until the unwanted file name but do NOT press {Enter})
(type this :)
{room} / t/c/grant administrators: F System: F everyone: F {Enter}
(Answer "Yes" when prompted "Are you sure?")

  • Office files lost due to the deletion of folder 'Office' of the user account

    Hello

    I am running Windows Vista: Home Premium (32 bit). By mistake I deleted the "Desktop" icon from the folder of the user and it caused all the folders with files have disappeared from the office. I tried several recovery programs, including Recuva, but no trace of these folders and files were found. I suppose they might not actually be deleted recovery programs have been unable to find them. When I try to search for them, their shortcuts (never created by me) are, but they do not lead to files. I suppose there could be problems with indexing, but I do not know and do not know what to do next.

    Advice kindly be appreciated.

    You may think it is... but we'll see... In Explorer, go to

  • Accidentally deleted the folder 'Contacts' of the user and will not restore with the feature

    Oops. I deleted the Contacts of the user (C:\Users\xxxxx\Contacts ) in Win7 x 64 folder and now I can't restore the functionality of the manipulation of the contacts in this folder.

    Is it possible to restore the folder and functionality without having to reinstall windows?

    Note: I have no system restore power because space is limited on a SSD :(

    Without access to the system restore or a certain type of recent backup, you are probably out of luck?

  • Cannot delete empty folder - check the location of the element?

    CAN SOMEONE PLEASE...

    I have a file left behind by an uninstall, '146-200 300 Jetliner just of flight ' folder to be precise!

    After that I removed the program, the file was still in the Start Menu. So right clicked and tried to delete native mode in the start menu which will be presented with the message "unable to delete the folder. Check the location of the item... "or something in that sense.

    I tried many fixes but all without success. I tried CCleaner, I tried to remove it from CMD, I tried to rename, move and merge the file with one of the same name. I also tried to reinstall the program, delete the folder with the installed program and try uninstall again to remove the folder.

    Literally nothing works. The only thing I have not tried is a Disk Clean Up, simply because I don't think it will work.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Kind regards

  • Windows Vista Mail - Unable to remove deleted items folder

    I show 894 messages in my deleted items folder.  When I click on this folder I don't see any messages.  When I right click to empty deleted folder, I get an error message - some items in the folder "Deleted items" may not be deleted - an error has occurred.

    What I see - when I go in the folder items that are removed in the lower left corner, it says "0 0 messages reading".  If the folder is empty, but how can I get rid of the number in brackets - 894?

    Also would help compaction?  If so, please tell me where to go to do it.  Thank you.

  • How can I delete a folder?

    I have a few files that I need is no longer. When I try to delete them, I get this message:
    The current order has no success. The e-mail server for the XXXXXX account replied: [can't} rename not supported in any of the conflicting directory permissions.]

    What does that mean?

    I think it must be an IMAP account, and when you delete a folder, it means that a request is sent to Thunderbird to the server to delete the Junk folder.

    Different systems use different rules for file names. Your server may have a bug, or it may deleting the folder generated a name that already exists, or which is not allowed. It is difficult to say.

    It may be easier to go to the website of your email provider, log in to your webmail it and delete the offending like that record.
