| Vista Home Premium | Need permission to delete files? Hey, I've got this problem where I cannot delete files because I need "permission" to do so. I am the administrator on this computer. I have tried several suggestions including CMD stuff (didn't work due to no success in doing it) and downloading that "take ownership" file. That didn't work either. Can anyone help me please!!! |

That didn't work either. Can anyone help me please!!! Try booting into safe mode, and try deleting the file again. Sometimes running in safe mode allows you to do things you can't do in regular boot mode. Let us know if that worked for you. |
