Permission

Question

I'm trying to delete a bunch .dll of files from my hard drive. I'm told I need permission from system to do this? What does this mean? How can I get permission? These files are just taking up space.

Thanks

Answer 1

DLLs (dynamic link library files) are an important component of the operating system, also windows features, and programs use them. Deleting them is going to break something. One I just checked here has more that 40,000. Not sure how you are planning to make the decisions on which ones you'll keep but a much simpler solution may be to clean install it.
