Default can't delete a strange file


"housetrained" wrote in message
...
A folder named 20575407c5cd8d0434 has appeared on the 'C' HDD. When
deleting get the: Folder access denied - You need permission to perform
this action
You require permission from S-1-5-21-1409082233-1547161642-725345543-1004
to make changes to this folder.
Never seen anything like that before. Any help appreciated.

It is most likely a folder created by Windows Update. What are your
Auto-update settings? Windows may have already downloaded it and is waiting
to install it, or has already installed it and is waiting on a reboot to
finish the installation and delete the folder.

I would be very careful before willy-nilly deleting folders. . .
