Can't delete files from the server

Hi,

I am logging as Administrator to my 2003 server and I CAN'T Delete some files.

The folder I want to delete I recovered from my tapes... look at it and then once I decided I didn't need it, I tried to delete it. Nothing.  I restore the folder in three opportunities, and I can't delete none of them.

I noted they are "Read Only", and I tried changing this attribute without success. I tried MS-DOS command and nothing.

How can I delete this files without rebooting the server ?

Thanks
RG

Thanks. It worked like a charm.

I think the problem was that there were users who were deleted and they had permissions in the folder when they were backep up. Once I pulled the security tab, there were mambo-jambo owners. I delete them and I added the Administrator. Replaced the permissions in the subfolders and worked.

Thanks again.
