Re: Cannot Delete File - Access Denied

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Is this a system file for the server or a data file that you are thinking is
corrupt? There may be something (an application) using the file that is
keeping you from deleting it.

I'm running SBS 2003 Premium w/sp1. I cannot delete a file that appears
to
be corrupt. I'm using my Domain Admin account, but I continue to get
access
is denied. I've tried to overwrite the file with backup and I've also
used
subinacl to reset permissions/ownership. Currently, the file does not
have a
security tab when right-clicking the properties.

I ran subinacl /onlyfile "path to file" /setowner=HB\administrator
/grant=HB\administrator=F This failes as does calcs.exe.

Any thoughts on how to delete the file or reset the permissions so that I
can overwrite would be great.

Thanks.

Ken
