Active Directory User Home Folder Removal
I have a student account that needs removed and was trying to delete their Home Drive folder on our storage server but it says I do not have permissions. I am the administrator for our district and can remove all other old user home drives with no issues. His folder shows a lock on it. I tried adding my username as the owner and giving security rights but that still will not work. The server is running 2008 R2 as the OS.

Take ownership of the folder (under security, advanced, if memory serves). Then you should be able to delete it.

as stated in my posting I did take ownership of the folder and that still didn't remove the restriction.....that's why I am at a loss here.

I did the permissions a second time and it finally took the lock off and I could delete it.....thanks

Thanks guys....I think some process was preventing the change when I changed the permissions.
Glad to help. :)
Have you checked the block inheritance is disabled or enabled when you took the ownership? If you not sure then re-enable it first and then disable it might be solved your problem.
