    Need serious help here guys.

    I'm trying to delete files belonging to a particular program in the c:\\program files(x86) folder. and even though I am the local admin, it keeps saying I need admin access to delete them.

    I've tried taking ownership of the files, tried changing security of the files, but even when I try to change securities I get an error such as error applying security. failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied.

    Any ideas or suggestions other than throwing laptop in the bin :(

    restart in safe mode on the off chance they are in use by something or other general weirdness

    in a runs as administrator command prompt try CACLS / ICACLs

    In my attempts to fix it, the start menu started not working. Went and did a fresh install.
