    Admin not an Admin?

    I am trying to delete the CSC folder inside windows 10,, this is a storage for files needed "offline". For some reason I have about 200gb in there--- only God knows why,,
    It keeps asking for Admin privliges to delete files,, and guess what? I am one!

    I had a similar problem on my Windows 8.1 tablet. I had turned automatic updates off the previous week and it was not letting me turn the automatic updates back on.
    The solution, in my case, was to reboot the machine, not connect to the network and then change the settings. It appeared to be loading a profile from the internet.

    I think I remember something about you needing to be the administrator, not an administrator. Windows thinks there is a difference, but no idea how to fix it without a larg hammer sorry...
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Hi,
    When you set it up, did you have to enter a password for the Administrator?
    If so login as Administrator and use the password, if you didnot set a password then, and just clicked OK, then login as above and leave the password blank.
    Often the user name is administrator or Admin, with or without the capital A.
    Cheers

    Think you may need to take ownership of the folder first before you can delete it and you may need to ensure whatever is writing files there in the first place is disabled before trying to delete it or at least the files within the folder.

    Thanks Sean,, but.
    Had tried all of that except the "turn CSC back on",,
    so I did,, and the reg hack did nothing,,
    I did use QWORD as my system is 64bit,, yes?
    rebooted, nothing.
    The pic below shows my normal user and one I created, I did nothing special,, just made him an admin BUT-
    If I swap user to login as ADMIN I can change me to just a plain old user, BUT
    the opposite does not apply.. ???

    I think it will be easier to just reload windows,,
