Deleting of Files as an Admin and being DENIED.

[Guillermo]

I am trying to delete a folder for an installation of
software which is no longer needed. The software was not
even installed, but when I try to delete the folder it
gives me a "Cannot delete XXXX:access denied Make sure
the disk is not full or write protected and that the file
is not currently in use." Considering I am in Safe Mode
and logged in as Admin, why would I get this message?

Please ANY adivse would be appreciated.

Have you checked the ACLs? Add administrator full control and you will
be able do delete the folder...
