Delete protected folder?

[RobbieSan]

here's the scoop..

my roomates (brothers) were sharing a PC for a while.. we set up user profiles for each of them.. we recently got them set up with their own PCs.. I removed one of the guys accounts and want to get rid of all files etc.. he managed to encrypt a specific folder so I can't delete it or open it.. I started up in safemode as admin and tried that route but no go..

how can I change the rights or unlock this folder or whatever so I can get rid of it?

Should be able to do it by, reboting into safemode and then right click and and take ownership of the file.

just replace file for the folder you want to delete - first reply is easier to do tho
