I'm administrator on my machine, but can't delete an user or profile folder. I have tried several options. I have found this page and tried to use the registry. But nothing really works.
Every time when I delete the user profile folder, it asks for permission from the administrator. And then it seems like it will work. But then a message will pop up that you don't have permission. Can someone please help me?
Fixed:
As Señor CMasMas said, I go to the system properties to fix it. First, press Windows key + R and run systempropertiesadvanced. Than go to User profiles -> [Settings]. Then a window will pop up. Select the user that you want to delete. After that the user will be deleted.
I had the same problem where I could not delete a left over user's folder after removing the user, and none of the various solutions found worked in my case.
Finally, I came across this answer, and that worked for me.
In a Command prompt (cmd.exe) started as Admin:
rd /s /q C:\Users\My_Deleted_User
