hello,

There is a folder in the server that couldn't be removed though the user is
using the administrator account. The error message is "access denied", i
noticed that the folder has only two tabs namely "general" and
"customize"when i checked the properties. The other folder has " genral",
"sharing," "security" and "customize". i tried taking ownership but it won't
do. can somebody tell me how to remove this folder because it couldn't be
accessed anyway even by the administrator account.

Thank you
 
You may want to take ownership. This search result may help,

Can't editdate even administratorThe administrator may lost the ownership of the folder. To do take over the ownership, right click on the file or folder. ...

Thanks for your reply but I tried doing these both but none of them solved
the problem, I hope you can still give other suggestions because I need to
remove that folder.

Thanks again

i noticed that the permission is not inheritable no matter what i do it just
won't inherit down to that particular folder. i just can't remove that
folder. it says "access denied make sure the disk is not full or write
protected and that file is not currently in use". is there a way to delete
this?

thanks for your reply

Is this folder shared? On the server it's on check through Computer
Management -> Shared Folders -> Shares.
