Can't delete folder, need permission from adminstrator?
Here´s the deal:
I have a folder, it´s the folder of one of my smaller projects and it used to contain a couple of images. Just a couple of minutes ago I was commiting the images to my git repo (since I was finished for the day with them), but suddenly when I press commit I get this strange error:
Access is denied
The strangest thing of it all is that I have one account (the default administrators account). I have tried all these things:
- Changing the permissions of the folder
- Deleting it with the shell
- Deleting it through an elevated command prompt (I even tried setting the folder as a symlink directory junction to NUL, but alas, nothing but the aforementioned error)
- Logout/in and restarting my shell/computer
But to no avail, whatever I try to do, throws me that blasted error (either as plain text or as an actual window). Although it contains nothing, it´s still sitting there, alive and well.
So, what are my options (apart from actually formatting the drive)?
Note that I don´t care about recovering the contents of the folder, it just annoys me that I can´t gain permissions to open it!
