Inside windows folder....don't delete shit buddy. Access is denied for a reason.
[QUOTE=RAWRrrr;31221373]Inside windows folder....don't delete shit buddy. Access is denied for a reason.[/QUOTE] This, But I'm still wondering what it's doing in the Windows Dir? Also if you have a space issue, check and see what you have downloaded/installed/ Laying around like a lazy bum. You may also want to run Defraggler, Fragmentation can take up space aswell.

[QUOTE=Michael haxz;31228186]I smell Pirated Windows![/QUOTE] So you assume someone just took the contents of C:\, zipped it up, and uploaded it for others to download?

You download the source code, tell your bios to run main.c and you have linux [editline]20th July 2011[/editline] i thought you knew about windows whats wrong with you
I haven't even download this shit, though.

See the proctologist.
Download Unlocker and unlock+delete the folder [b]only if you're sure it isn't vital to your system.[/b]
[QUOTE=Quark:;31275101]Download Unlocker and unlock+delete the folder [b]only if you're sure it isn't vital to your system.[/b][/QUOTE] unlocker probably wont work because it might be permissions that are locking the files down. try deleting it in safe mode or from a Live CD/USB.
Forgive me if I'm abit late on thinking about this This idea came to me while I was on the way to the my shower [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wBQiu.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/IRZhS.png[/IMG] You should be able to do this with your folder and use it to take control. It's under properties. I wouldn't imagine it being important since it is in your download folder so delete away. I'm sorry I didn't think of this earlier. The Live CD/USB option would be the only thing left to do if this doesn't work.
that probably wont work. you would have to change permissions for each individual file.
[QUOTE=a-k-t-w;31458049]that probably wont work. you would have to change permissions for each individual file.[/QUOTE] In Windows, you have the option to change permissions for just that folder or everything in it including the folder itself.
Guys, my computer fails miserably at folder permissions. FINAL VERDICT: Reburn
