You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder...

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can provide a simple answer to this problem.

I am trying to delete a folder (and all of the files in it) and I am getting the following errors:

1. You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder. (Continue/Skip/Cancel)
2. I select Continue
3. You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from MyPC\Bob to make changes to this folder. (Try Again/Cancel)

The problem is that I am logged in as MyPC\Bob, and Bob is an Administrator account.

So, how exactly do I ask myself for permission ? And how do I give myself permission ?

Bob has 'Full control' of the folder.
Bob is the owner of the folder.
But Bob cannot delete the folder because Bob has to ask Bob for permission..... /boggle.

L.
