can't delete folder

[Makol]

I recently uninstalled both Crysis and Crysis Warhead but the Crytek folder is still there. I tried to delete it but I always get an error message saying I need to be an administrator of my computer to delete the folder, this is I am the administrator. I tried looking on Google haven't been able to find a way to delete, same error keeps popping up.

You may need to take ownership of the folder.. I would link you to an article but I'm [B]just[/B] about to go get food :smile:

Here's one article [url]http://www.vista4beginners.com/Change-permissions-take-ownership[/url]

But there's another (I think easier) way to do it with the cmd..

someone please help, it's 8gb of space wasted because I can't delete it.

Haha. I get this same issue with Spacebuild all the damn time.
What you need to do is go into the folder ,and slowly delete it piece by piece.
It will take you about 30 minutes - 1 hour, but it's the easiest way to do it.

[Makol]

I'll try that.

Are you using the actual Administrator account, or are you a user with admin privileges?

[Makol]

it says I'm admin when I look at my account

Try booting into safe mode, logging into the Administrator account, then deleting the folder.
