Hi Matty,

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

Add take ownership to the context menu, and try taking ownership of the file by right-clicking.

Download this Registry file.

Execute it and press yes.

Restart your PC.

Right-click the file/folder and select Take ownership.

Press yes.

Try deleting the folder in Safe mode.

Good luck!
