Problem deleting files in Windows 7
- by Alex Yan
Happens sometimes but frequently enough to be a pain in the bum. I press Del or Shift + Del but the file stays there. Then when I try to delete it again, it says that I need permission from the Admin. For it to be deleted, usually I have to restart my computer
List of things I've tried:
I have admin privileges
Hasn't happened since I reinstalled Windows and another form of this happened in my install before the last one
I tried takeown in cmd but it says ERROR: Access is denied
The files sometimes disappear by themselves after 2 mins or so
Refreshing the folder doesn't do anything
Unlocker doesn't work either. It asks me if I want to delete it the next boot
