Destination Folder Access Denied

[Salius]

I downloaded Comodo antivirus protection onto my vista homa basic laptop on recomendation of family but it proved to just be a big mess up and i swapped to another anti virus instead but It wont let me delete the folder after uninstalling it, I have tried turning user account control off and have also tried changing the ownership and even looked to see what permissions i do have, I have full controll over the folder yet everytime i try and delete it i just end up with the error note saying destination folder access denied, and that i do not have permissions to delete this file I don't know what to do I have tried everything I have found through forums too but nothing please help me

You can try a utility like Unlocker or LockHunter. You can get them free. Or the av program may require a "removal tool" or "cleanup tool" to get it all off your system. I would try both. Some of those av don't go away quietly. Check the web site for a removal tool.

Another trick is to log out, then log back in. Sometimes that will get what's holding the file or folder to let go of it.

hmm tried both of those too and still nothing, I have also tried deliting the individual files in the folders and it wont even let me delete those i get the exact same message then too this is really annoying me and I could do without this hassle filled object

May be a simple solution. Use system restore from the point prior to installing the problem software.

If that does not work, but it should. Use this to try to uninstall

If the program is uninstalled but just that one folder remains, use ccleaner.
