So I reformatted my computer a few months ago. Unfortunately, I am running out of disk space and would like to clear some. Specifically, the useless backup I made to placate my digitally illiterate parents. That thing takes up five gigs of space and I never use it. But every time I try to delete it, it tells me that access is forbidden.

I deleted as much as it will allow me, and I tired removing the read-only attribute on the offending items, all with the same status. How do I get rid of this annoying piece of shit?

I am going to suppose you're using windows 7, so just download this: http://www.blogsdna.com/wp-content/uploads...keownership.zip ... extract it, run the REG file ... you'll get a new button in the right click menu called take ownership ... so wherever those folders are just right click them then click on take ownership and then delete them...

I have XP actually.

Uhm, then it's not a matter of permissions or ownership... try a software called Unlocker, it helps delete such files...
