EFS - deleting temp files EFS0.tmp, EFS1.tmp, etc.
Hi,
I did something bad and enabled EFS on a folder, then decided to remove EFS. Windows has now left me with a number of EFS*.tmp files which I cannot now delete and they are really large. I understand what these files are, but really want to delete them and so far I haven't found a way to do this, have tried using Admin privilages and a Google search was fruitless. Help :-) Thanks |

Another thought is you might have to actually be logged in as Administrator, rather than use Admin privileges. HTH, Dave |

The files were owned by SYSTEM, but I could add myself with permissions to delete. Thanks!!! |
