I need/want to delete a folder. When I right click on the folder and choose
delete, a message comes up saying I do not have permission to delete. How do
I, full owner of a private HP Pavillion laptop (windows vista) give myself
permission to do this simple task?

Take ownership of the folder and the files in it. Give yourself Full
Control. Delete the folder. As long you have UAC enabled this can all be
done from Windows Explorer.

Hi,

Try to take ownership of the folder first, then delete it. Method Two
in this tutorial will show you how.
