win 7 won't delete png images
win 7 home premium 64 bit
Just getting rid of the useless microsoft games folder, I am told I do not have permission to delete the png images. Everything else deletes. So I go to set permissions. Nope. Can't do that either. It will not change from "creator owner". I change ownership, go through the hoops, click ok. All appears to be fine. But nope. Windows is saying **** you. We're not allowing you to make the damn changes on this. You're stuck with it. It's my god damned ****ing machine! If I don't want your crap on it then that is my right. What the hell is so damned privileged about a frickin image? Now how do I fix it? |

All of Windows 7 is always installed, but there is really no reason to actually delete anything. Deleting bits and pieces to free up disk space in these days of terabyte drives is silly. -- Crash Committed to the search for intraterrestrial intelligence. |
