Problems when deleting file/folders on Vista

So you're [desperately] trying to delete a file/folder and it comes up with: "destination folder access denied" and says "You need permission to delete this file"??!

• Firstly check both file and sharing (folders only) permissions on the file/folder
• Right click on file/folder and select Properties
  
• You can also try this take ownership approach
• Check, using process monitor, to see if any other process has the file open
• If so close/kill this process.
• You could also try this delete on reboot - Which schedules a del on next reboot.
  

If you still can't delete the file folder then try renaming/moving it somewhere or rebooting (with above technique) and trying again.
