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

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.
