| I'm a software developer and after a debug crash I cannot access a folder
which my program was using. It simply says "Access denied". I have tried to
restart Vista (Ultimate), but it doesn't work. I have tried from the dos
prompt using rd and rmdir /S and it doesn't work. I am the owner and
administrator of the folders which I'm trying to access. I have tried to
change the How can I remove the directory?

Which directory?
When this happened to me on a USB drive I had to go to the root and take
ownership of everything before setting the permissions and replacing the
existing permissions, again from root.
I could read and write to the directory and like you I had full control over
the it but I couldn't delete the it.
Once the permissions had been changed I could delete it. |

Thank you Neil,
However, I cannot event take ownership over the folder - I get "Access
denied" when I try.
Regards,
Joachim

are you taking ownership from the root of the drive? I couldn't take
ownership of the folder on my USB drive either but from the root there
weren't any problems. >> Stay informed about: Access denied to files and folders |
