Denied permission to access folders
easy fix for when I needed to delete a folder that I could not because of permission problems. This is for people who still need help with this, I'm kinda late on helping the original person but here it is.... Run cmd prompt as administrator, then type in.... net user administrator /active:yes that opens up a new admin account and gives you access to everything. I was able to delete the folder then =) i hope this helps!  -- acesilver

You forgot a *really important* step: net user administrator /active:no Leaving the Admin account active is an unnecessary security risk after the folders have been deleted. It's quicker than changing Perms or taking Ownership of the folders but leaving the Admin account active is not wise as *anything* that installs when it's active will have the same rights as the Admin on the system.
