Has anyone tried to delete this folder after installing the new release?
I'm getting errors saying i have insufficient permissions but i'm logged in
as administrator. I also can't empty the recycle bin and it may be related
to this issue also.
 
I had this also - yeh ownership should work a treat :o)

Hello!

You now have to edit the rights to allow "Full control"
to the new owner(s) (administrator(s)).

Cheers, Roman
 
What worked for mem is I renamed it to "WindowsJUNK" all one word, and
deleted that. I think from renaming it I must have broken the permissions or
something on it, but usually renaming it when it says it can't be deleted,
means that you can delete it ;o)
