I already have 3 SSDs in the machine, so no point in buying a new drive. System restore does not seem to be working on my machine along with other stuff. It seems that the only way forward now is to do so a complete wipe of the drive, a full format and then a fresh install of W10. Although I do have...

It seems that I need to do a complete and total wipe of my system hard disc and reinstall of all the programmes. A real PITA but it seems that the onyl way forward. I have W10 installed along with things like MS office and other things. How do do I a complete reinstall once I wipe (format) my C driv...

Yea, I did that Merlyn. I opend CMD as admin and still get access denied.

I think Linux may be the way to go.

I had a chat with MS before. Infact, when they told me to reinstall the OS, that is when the problem first appeared. Certainly sounds like a permissions issue. My inclination is to install a Linux disto on my machine and then boot into that and from there delete these damn files. I should have had a...

I tried going through the settings>storage options.

I always get the error that those files require me to have admin access. I AM logged in as an Admin. So I can't understand why it will not allow me the access to delete those files.

I did a ful clean up but those folders are STILL there.

There MUST be a way to get rid of them.

Great. Thanks.
Done,
mangaged to install it now.

Did a disk cleanup.

How do I force it to delete a specific folder?

There was no installation. I clicked on the file that I downloaded and got that error. It wont even allow me to install it.

I downloaded the glary utility but I get the error

Windows cannot access C:\.......gup5setup.exe

I even tried to run it as Admin.

I get the error code 0x80070043

And when I try to use rmdir in dos I just get access denied.

So how do I delete this file from my C drive. its about 12GB. When I try to delete it, I Am told that I need admin rights. I do have admin rights. There is also another file from a previous reinstal of W10 and that is about 2GB. I have tried various widows utilities to try and get rid of this folder...

Thanks for this guys. Just as an update, temps ahve stabalised around the late 50s early 60s. Although there is a fair bit of variation. They do occassionally shoot up to the late 70s early 80s, (Deg C not musical decades!!!) I ahve not reseated anything yet. I am just wondering if I need to do anyt...
