Can't delete files

I can't delete files that I want to on Vista Ultimate x64. How do you do
this? I am the administrator. I don't understand it. I can't unistall a
program because of improper permissons and I can't delete them. This is
ridiculous. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Sam--

You're the admin, but you're just not "admin enough" for UAC in Vista. I
think that you'll be able to delete the files if you make sure you take
proper permissions of the folder they're in. Rt. click>properties>security
tab> and take permission of the folder.

Re: Can't delete files

I had same problem and went to properties security and ticked so it showed I
had full control but still wouldnt let me delete. The only way I could was
turning off user account control then delete the file then turned the user
account control on again.
