WishBone17 Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 I use system restore and deleted a user from the computer now i think it screwed something up. there is a folder in C:Documents and Settings which cannot be deleted due to access denied. I go to security options but still access denied. I even go to Admin in safe mode still access denied. Any Ideas. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjmUK Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Anything within the directory "C:Documents and Settings" is part of the operating system, for example you will have a folder in there which is similar to your login, and a lot of your personal settings are stored in here. BUT... If you wish to delete any directory, then I suggest that you have a DOS 6.22 disk handy and reboot with the floppy disk in the drive and manually delete the directory (using the command "deltree"). But I still wouldn't advise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortensen Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 I have a folder in Program Files that I CANNOT delete. It's called Xerox and has a folder in that called Nwwia. It has NO files in [folder size is 0kb's] and I don't have any Xerox hardware OR software... never have. I can't delete it at all and there is NO REASON why this EMPTY folder should be in use. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
