Undeletable folders in Vista Root directory

Johnny Storm · 2007-12-05 19:54:20

I have 4 folders in my Vista root directory which cannot be deleted. These appear to be Windows update temporary files which did not install properly (I'm guessing). They all have "random" type names like c26cd49f8c636 etc. Each one contains a folder called Update. Apparently I do not have permission to delete these…

I have 4 folders in my Vista root directory which cannot be deleted. These appear to be Windows update temporary files which did not install properly (I'm guessing). They all have "random" type names like c26cd49f8c636 etc. Each one contains a folder called Update. Apparently I do not have permission to delete these folders. They have survived a fresh installation of Vista.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of them?
