    Hello.
    This message appears when I try to delete the Program Files folder. On the partition where Win7 was previously installed, I want to free up space by deleting the old system, Program Files, etc. All the time I am blocked by messages about the lack of permissions or errors when trying to change the owner. I tried everything I found online and the button.

    Take ownership of the entire partition and give yourself full rights.

    I did so. And just the message appears:
    You need permission to perform this action.
    Obtain permission from COMPUTER NAME \ COMPUTER NAME to make changes to this folder.

    And Try again or Cancel ...

    I read somewhere that in safe mode you can try, but to no avail :(
