Hello,
I recently installed a new hard drive with Windows 10 and am using the old hard disk for storage which previously had Windows 7 installed on it.
When I try to delete the Win 7 program files, I get a message: Folder access denied - Need permission to make changes to this folder. I tried to change the folder settings by giving full control to modify it but was unable to do so.
These are the folders which I am unable to delete - Program Files, Program Files (x86), Windows
Not sure if I am missing a step here but need help to delete the old OS files because it is using up a lot of space in the disk.
Thanks.
