Can't delete folder that I created

This folder was created in Feb. It's in C: Users/(Me)/Music. I named it Overflow so I could move files into it to keep the main folder looking cleaner. It has no content except for a subfolder called "Photos" (which also has no content).

When I look at properties I get ""you do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings"It says it belongs to Desktop B91JACA\Administrators. How do I get ownership? I'm the only user so I'm automatically the administrator. But what is Desktop administrator?

Running Windows Home with Winter Creators Upgrade Version 1709.

Hey larrydonline,
Check this tutorial - Add Take Ownership to Context Menu in Windows 10 User Accounts Tutorials

I followed the tutorial and have the "take ownership" in my right click menu, however it does not work. It goes through the steps, asking if I want to make that change and I click yes. However I still get all the same qualifiers for why I can't delete said folders. Nothing appears to have changed with the registry hack.

I don't have hidden files. I see all the system files in all folders.

That was interesting. When in the administrator account the desktop has an entirely different look. I was able to navigate to the problem folder, but unfortunately I got the same message that I didn't have permission to view or edit it. I ran the scan and repair app which completed successfully. Still no joy with deleting the folder.

Ccleaner used to have a function for deleting a problem file but I don't find that in the latest version. Someone claimed they fixed a problem like this by booting into Safe mode but I don't know how to do that with Windows 10. There's nothing in Task Manager for booting into Safe mode. I hope there's still something to try yet that might work.

I tend to keep a linux boot disk handy for occasions like this.

May I take that as an opportunity to ask about the android operating systems. How does one try out linux or Ubuntu or some other non-Windows, non-Apple OS? Can they be installed on a computer already running Windows? Do most users use them as their sole OS? Do most programs made for Windows also have a linux version? Where's a good place to learn about alt. OS's?

to Ztruker: I couldn't download Unlocker. I never found a download link that worked. I just got moved from one page to another with a million ads but nothing ever downloaded the file. Got another link?
