Guest Todd-1 Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 The easiest way to delete anything that Windows won't let you delete is to boot a different OS (e.g. GNU/Linux) from a live CD or flash drive and then delete the file from there.

Guest HLL Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Just follow rambozo's (in page 2 of this thread) two steps which is the easiest way but has been overlooked. I had the same problem as yours that I cannot see the security tab therefore I cannot disable the "simple file sharing" in my XP home edition. Most of the people in this thread does not address this. But anyway rambozo's method works! i.e. Just drag the folder to the desktop and delete it from there. -- HLL Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com
Guest Dezo Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Thanks worked great so simple feel newbish for not thinking of it lol...tried all the others first with no luck!!!

Guest Nick Martin Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 I found the most simplest of solutions, as none of the above worked. My computer has been crashing and failing to load for a few weeks now and starting to become a real pain.. I just went into the sharing properties of the folder, and allowed it to be viewed and altered by third parties (other users) and then deleted it. Job done! Hope this works.

Guest Colin Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Hi All, Just right click on the folder and make sure the "read only" box is completely unchecked and apply it to all subfolders and files. Then you can simply delete the folder as usual. Cheers, Colin
Guest John Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 thanks, Nick. works for me.

Guest Kobi Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks Nick, you're solution worked for me. I think the reason that people don't see the option about 'simple file sharing' is because that option doesn't exist in Windows XP home, only in XP Pro.

Guest sns Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I found a very simple way too!!!! I created a new folder in the folder where the ed798b66cbeb3a7b9bde9e55a9e2 folder was. I put in this folder (i named it caca but any name must work) the ed798b66cbeb3a7b9bde9e55a9e2 folder. then selected the caca folder properties and unticked the "read only" box ....and i cancelled normally the caca folder with all the annoying files init!

Guest cajun Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Thank you for this solution. It worked for me when nothing else did! I had two such files, on in my C:\Programs Files folder, and one on my second internal hard drive. They were installed on two different dates. I deleted the one under the C:\Program Files in Safe Mode, but it wouldn't let me delete the one on my second internal drive. I was going to try the Spybot trick posted here of dragging the folder to the Secure Shredder, but I don't have a Secure Shredder under Tools in Advanced Mode. I'm running XP Home and also don't have an option to "remove simple file sharing."

Steve, You Rock!!! I run the XP Home and it took me having to make folders inside the offending folder, then making another folder OUTside the offending folder, unchecking the read boxes the whole way, and only THEN after moving it to the new folder did it let me delete it! man! talk about being a pain in the neck! actually that folder needed to PAY! as it ate one of my folders that held 2 months worth of work I did on a website. (accidently dropped it in the folder when moving it to another location)
Guest TMon Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Thank you for the great solution Nick Martin. Btw. i can't believe microsoft is such a lame, leaving unused garbage, what's more, protected on one's HDD. Weird. Not even a patch released to clean up the mess. Dear Microsoft, Don't do that again.
