Windows Server 2008 can not delete folder.
Posted on 2013-01-03
If I am a member of administrators, then why can I not delete a file. Is is possible that the folder was create by the builtin administrator and that account has higher permissions?

The folder was a redirection folder. The user has left and I am doing cleanup. The user account was deleted. The owner is administrators. This would not be a system file.
What is the error message?
try to run the explorer as administrator and delete again. --> right click and run as administrator
try to run the explorer as administrator and delete again. --> right click and run as administrator
Normally the user will be owner of the folder, Change the ownership ( takeownership) of the folder to Administrator and try to delete it.
Right click on the Folder --> properties --> Security -->Advance --> Owner Tab -->Click Edit --> Select the administrator account and select the check box on "replace owner on subcontainers and objects --> click Ok.
Then try to delete now as administrator.
