Hi Titonka, Take ownership of the files first, then see if you can delete them. This will show you how. Since you have alot of them, you might use Method One to save time. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html Shawn

There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.
