Cannot delete a folder - Windows 2003

[Guest Erling Herstad]

Dear Sirs.

 

I deleted a user in Our domain, but i cannot delete a folder under profiles.

Running windows 2003 SP2 (DC), NTFS, the filesystem is running on Raid1, no

encryption or compression. I've setup folder redirection, all profiles are

stored in this share. I've run a complete chckdsk twice + no errors are

present in HP Proliant log viewer. I see the security button, but i cannot

take ownership as administrator or replace permissions. On the folder i

cannot deleteor add entries, in addition they're non removable, i can only

select VIEW (3 entries: unknown account, SYSTEM + everyone). However i can

rename the folder. Only thing i havent tried is deleting the folder in safe

mode.

I've read other posts, but havent found a solution yet.

Have you tried through the command line?

 

rmdir /S d:\profiles\username

 

Worked for me yesterday when I had the old mess up of a directory full

of 0 byte files, and nothing in the shell would remove it :).

 

Thanks.

Andrew.

Unfortunately i got a "no access" message. It's still weird that i can

change the folder name, but not take ownership, change security settings etc.
