Access Denied \Device\HarddiskVolume1\...
Have a ntfs HDD Folder and File I can't delete.
"R:\Temp\restore.x\x\x\x\x
I've propogated my account (admin) as owner with full control thru all child objects from the top "R:\Temp" down.
But I still can't delete it or rename it.
I get the error: "The system cannot find the file specified."
Attributes shows none. i.e. no encryption.
When I bring up the file properties it only show the general tab.
It's size is 0 bytes
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Sorry I'm not that trusting.
Is this a network drive?
If it's a network drive then try to delete it from the computer that has the drive as local
Hope this helps!

Local Physical Drive.
Ghost process is not running and disabled System Restore on Drive.
Any other ideas?

Even though DOS (CMD) line was my first alternate attempt, it did work this time.
I believe it worked the second time because I had previously logged on local machine with the original Administrator account and took ownership.
Even though at the time I got access denied, it must have changed enough, for DOS to del later.
footnote:
PC OS is WinXPSP2 on a domain
ntfschk report any problems, (even though I suspected bad area/corrupted formatting.)
Thanks for your efforts,

This is a shot in the dark but this app has helped me to delete files and folders when something was holding. It may be possible that a ghost app is holding this file and not allowing Windows to access it for the delete function.
Let us know if this works for you.
