Just like it says above. I installed Perfect World and Forsaken World. Went to delete the install folders since the games are installed and it won't let me. For some reason some unknown permissions were added and even though I'm on the admin account I still can't delete them. Keeps saying permission denied. Please help.b:cry

    Try right click -> take ownership then try deleting? what exactly does it say when you try to delete the folder?

    Try disabling your antivirus and then deleting them. It's probably locked some of the files because you didn't add those folders to the exceptions lists like you should have.

    Alternatively, go into Safe Mode and do it from there.

    If you can't still delete the folder, there's a quick solution for that. Long Path Tool helped me in this situation.
