I need to delete some log files for a program I was running. The files are in Program Data, but when I try to delete the logs I get the following message:
Folder Access Denied
You need permission to perform this action
Your require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder
(Folder name )
(Date created)
Question is, how do I get permission. It is my personal home computer and I really need to delete these log files. Thanks.
