Hello,

I am trying to remove old sp1 files from my now backup drive. I bought a
new hard drive for my computer, so the old one became a backup drive and does
not function as my operating system drive anymore. However, without having
to reformat the drive (many other files I do not want to have to transfer or
lose), is there a way to remove the sp1 files that are inaccessible? I have
the following folders I cannot delete because there is an sp1 folder inside
them i cannot delete as they are read only and will not allow me to change
them (access denied):
1) df2e6d5ce62007317c2696925d6be4f8 - inside this folder is another folder
called sp1
2) 86dd639 - inside this folder is another folder called sp1
3) 417420a - inside this folder is another folder called sp1

These folders are not inside the windows folder, which only has a couple of
Adobe files i cannot delete either, but that is another story. I, of course,
cannot call microsoft, because technically my windows is OEM, and I cannot
call dell because my warranty is up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I will reformat the drive if I have to, but sure don't want to. Thanks in
advance and have a great day!
