Folder says I need admistrator privileges when I have them?

I have two folders on my computer right now that both say I do not have
privileges to access or delete even after escilating my privileges with UAC.
Is there any way I can fix these folders? The claim to have a "undisplayable
owner" and I cannot get myself or admin to be the owner.

Re: Folder says I need admistrator privileges when I have them?

How would I "take ownership" other then by using the security options in
properties which I already tried and it failed.
