Resolved Can't Delete Folder

I'm logged on to my OS as the administrator and I'm trying to delete a folder in my C drive but Windows won't allow the delete because I don't have permission to delete this file. I've checked the permissions in 'Security' and all are permitted. I've never really understood permissions and was wondering what I'm doing wrong and why I can't delete the folder.

 

Hi , if not a Windows system file you can delete by using a tool called assassin found in the freeware version of malwarebytes anti-malware program

 

Tip: Some files and folders are next to impossible to delete because they are part of the operating system. If you delete them, the operating system won't work right ... if at all.

 

It's an entire folder I'm trying to delete. File Assassin will do only one file at a time. The folder in question is not part of the OS.

 

What is the complete path of the folder? For example:

DriveLetter:\FolderName\FolderName\FolderName\etc.​

 

The folder's path is:


c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp\RTMount

 

Did you try it in Safe mode?

Just tried here on a system running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (with all updates) and I was able to delete everything in the

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp​

folder, with the exception of Microsoft's "FXSAPIDebugLogFile.txt" 0-byte file.

 

I'll give it a try.

 

Tried Safe Mode but again, I don't have permission to delete the folder.

 

Were you logged in as an Administrator?

Did you try removing "RT Se7en Lite "? (Click the Start orb, type in "appwiz.cpl" {without the quotes} and press [Enter]).

If that doesn't work, you might try removing it with Revo Uninstaller.

If still no luck, boot from a Knoppix Live CD and delete the folder.

 

Opened a ticket with RT Seven. Waiting for an answer.

 

Revo couldn't uninstall. I'm downloading the Knoppix CD right now.

 

OK, success. I was able to delete the folder using "rmdir" with the Recovery Console Command Prompt.

Thanks to all for the help.
