about that one.

I've not tried it, but if a deny 'administrator' or 'domain\administrators'
was placed on the directory\files, then ownership should have not been
helpfull as the deny would override ownership.

Interesting. bad idea, but interesting.

Dave,

Logging in as administrator and following your directions I still
received access denied. I added everyone with full permissions and
was able to finish
the task. Why would my system admin account be restricted?

Thanks,

Dan

Open the properties of the folder and go to the Security tab. Click
Advanced and go to the Owner tab. Replace the current owner (the
ex-user)
with Administrator or another domain admin account, checking the
box to apply the change to subfolders etc. Apply the change, and
you'll be able to
delete the folder (and change security permissions, or whatever
else you wish).
