Situation: Secondary HDD contains previous installation's Windows folder which my current Win10 account cannot delete even as admin.
Solution: I'm assuming that I'd need to first take ownership then change the permissions to give full control.
However this is an old hard drive, and since my goal is to delete the whole folder, there must be a better way to do it without traversing the entire thing at least twice to modify attributes.
Can I simply forcefully delete it from within Windows or can I boot into linux or a recovery CD and do it that way?
