Hi jimihendrix272,

Are you the admin?

First, you need to make sure that you want the folder and ALL of it's contents removed. <br />
Next, you will need to take ownership of the file. <br />

You should not encounter any errors with the appropriate permissions. <br />
Meaning, that if you are the Administrator of this pc you should have no issues with permissions or file access. <br />

I am trying to delete a folder and files (Windows XP) but access denied.
Is there anyway of doing it?

Can't delete a folder - access denied.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
