      Step 0: Make absolutly, completly certain you are about to delete the right folder. Step 1: Follow the instructions here to take ownership of the files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421[^] Step 2: Assuming Step 1 is successful, delete the files, again making absolutely certain you have the right ones.

        You must have the right for deletion the files and folders. Or Some file which is used by any application at this time the folder u can't delete.

        If you can think then I Can.
