    Default To delete of "no-access" folders

    I repaired my windows installation, and a lot of files stayed in one of my old profiles. As soon as I try to enter the folders, I received "no access" error. I really have live 35 GB of locked data or do I have to do a total clean reinstall?

    to considering them removed since that can get a slight involved at times there's a two step method you will require to take. The first would be raising permissions for the current admin or user account and the second an option to add the take ownership option to the right click properties menu

    after right clicking on a few file or folder you go to the security tab and open that . From there you go to the advanced button that will mention a fresh screen.

    On the after that one you just double click on the \Users\Peterman\or whatever the user account is named there for a third screen to appear, "Permissions Entry for", and only click the ok button on that with the one for the 2nd screen. Next you sole left click on the User item on to highlight that and click the edit button for the next screen.

    On the previous screen just check off the "Allow" check boxes for every item and click apply to put the change into result. You may have to do this sometimes with that large amount of sub folders. Begin with the one buried the deepest first for not checking the read only box if wanted in orders to start deletion.
