    Can't remove folder even though I am the owner of it?


    Hi I am trying to delete Riot Games from my computer but it wont let me even though I have taken ownership of the file.. It says that I need authorization from the user im currently logged into to make changes to the folder? :/

    You need to take ownership and grant yourself authority - it is a 2 stage process. You can have ownership of a file but not have permission to modify it/delete it. Taking ownership doesn't automatically grant permissions.

    As you have taken ownership aready go back into the folder, right click > properties > permissions and on the security tab add your user if it is not there and give it full control.
