I copied a folder tree from another computer in LAN onto my local computer.
After some work I want to delete this folder tree on my local computer.
When I right-click in File Explorer on the top node and select "delete" then a popup tells me:
"You need to provide administrator permissions"
Tutorials in Internet say I have to click through several menus to take ownership of this folder and be able to delete it.
Others recommend to disable UAC.
Is there really no other way to delete such files/folders?
Is there no context menu extension "delete as administrator" (With prompt for password)?
If necessary I could add my user to the admin group but I want to avoid this too.
Any other solution with a minimum of effort?
Thank you
Peter
