Re: destination access denied

Maybe you don't have the authority to delete it. Be sure that you have the
administrator privilege or the security settings of the file maybe changed.

Try and delete the file while in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode, restart
the computer and as it is starting up repeatedly tap the F8 key. This will
get you to the menu where you can choose Safe Mode. Use your arrow key to
select it; the mouse won't work here.

After you have (hopefully) deleted the file in Safe Mode, run some scans for
malware to be sure your computer is clean.

Re: destination access denied

If it doesn't work, the security settings of the file is not allowed you to
delete it.
Check this:Right click on the file > choose properties > Security > Select
Administrators in "Group or user names" > the authority of administrators
will list in the "Pemissions for Authenticated users".
