Long story short, I have ONE folder on my computer that I can not delete/move/or rename any files that are in it....

I need to delete some because they take up too much space.

Please help. Running Win2K SP4

hi mysterio2099,
Right-click on your folder > Properties - Click on Security Tab.

You will see names, where it shows administrators and owners and so on. Click on Administrator if you are the admin and below on the Permissions dialog, click allow(if it is not selected).

click on all possile names especially "owner creator". Now try to delete or move your folder.

Hope this helps
VJ
