I was able to take ownership but this did not allow me to delete the
file.

The error states:

"could not find this item" this is no longer located in C:......Verify
location and try again.

Thanks.....

Just like Bob said -- Work backwards. Open the folder and subfolder,
open the file one at a time, right click on the file, click Take
Ownership, right click on the file again, click Delete. Go to next file.
Does that work ?? Please reply.
