Solve : Cannot delete a windows folder?

Answer»

I had to REINSTALL windows xp several times and now I've GOT about 8 folders with different names in my c/documents and settings all with basically the same files within. when I try to delete all but one I get an error that says this is a windows system FOLDER and is required for windows to run properly it cannot be deleted. NOTE: I did manage to delete a few but two are still there with the same files within.The name and location of the folders? Quote

Why? Was the issue resolved? Did you backup user documents?c:/Documents and settings C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS and C:\Documents and Settings\username. These folders contain the same file types. I got rid of about 6 already with different names that let me delete that also pretty much had the same files.
#1-C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application DATA
#2-C:\Documents and Settings\usernameApplication Data\ElevatedDiagnostics
#3-C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Identities
#4-C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\PC Unleashed Online
etc: - \Application Data\DriverCure and several others - 17 folders...Then this one...


#1-C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data
#2-C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\username
#3-C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Start Menu
1) Leave them alone
2) For your protection I've edited your post and removed your username, replacing it with the generic "username".
