Cannot delete an .SLP file  

Hi there!

I had installed Server 2019 on Hyper-V . I deleted it and also attempted to delete other related files. Basically I followed the proper procedure to delete a VM. This is not the first time I have done this either. I had no issues before but this time it will not let delete an .slp file:
7240B4D9-F23E-4E7A-B86F-1B57CBCE7A8F.0000000000000000.slp
file location:
C:\VirtualMachine\WindowsServer2019\WinSer2019\Virtual Machines\7240B4D9-F23E-4E7A-B86F-1B57CBCE7A8F

It says: You need permission to perform this action.

I am an admin on my computer. I restarted a few times already.

I even completely removed Hyper-V.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

If you are not able to erase a file from windows you can use these tools; (just google them)
DeleteOnReboot
IOBitUnlocker
ThisIsMyFile
Unlocker

Sometimes it doesn't matter if you are an admin or not in Windows when you erase something, you have to change permissions of object's.

Change Permissions of Objects for Users and Groups in Windows 10

Thanks for the quick response!!

I tried:

• DeleteOnReboot
• ThisIsMyFile

I got the same permission error. But the Unlocker worked like a magic That's definitely the keeper!

Thanks again!!
