    can't access temp folder under user profile

    Hi
    I cannot access TEMP folder under user profile, or even access any file in that folder. It says the folder is corrupt. I tried to run ccleaner, however that didn't fix it. Could someone please suggest how I can get rid of this folder and start a new one



    Thanks

    ccleaner delete cookies etc but not profiles.. the user profile you are using should have administrative rights..

    Hi there.

    There's no temp folder for each user account. There is a common temp folder at C:\Windows\Temp. Is that what you're talking about? Well, I believe you need to be an admin to access that.

    What error are you getting?

    I would rather say remove the hard drive.. connect it exoternally to another pc.. take ownership of the folder and then delete it..
    Thoughts??

    No, ashvin, that won't do it. Probably it will show some errors if you use another PC to delete it.
