Override TrustedInstaller ownership...?
Hi,
Before Windows update, I disabled Cortana by entering "AllowCortana" with value '0' in Registry then renaming the Cortana folder in SystemApps.
When doing the update I forgot the renaming of the folder, so now got two Cortana folders in SystemApps.
I have tried to get permission and taking ownership over 'TrustedInstaller' to delete the renamed old Cortana folder, but the things I have tried does not work. I have read a couple of guides, but it is clearly over my head.
Could someone please help me out.
Thanks

I've figured out that I can delete one by one bottom subfolders and containing files by giving my user 'Full Control' in "Group or user names" after giving ownership to my user in "Advanced Security Settings". But even if applying to 'This folder, subfolders, and files' giving all 'Advanced Permissions' to top folder this does not allow deleting top folder, C:\Windows\SystemApps\....Cortana... folder in my case, and subfolder with files in one go. I have to go to every single subfolder and so on...
Edit: Forgot that I also set my user as 'Principal' in "Advanced Security Settings".
Could someone please enlighten me or help me out?
Thanks.
