I am having trouble deleting a duplicate of a windows update session that is some 40 Gbytes in size. The owner is of course, "trustedinstaller". Since enumeration of all children, subdirectories, and files fails to work when I enable inheritance it looks like I have to touch each and every subdirectory and file. This is not something I look forward to. Is there a way to get enumeration to work as expected so I can get rid of all or part of this file structure easily.
