Folder Access Denied permission error Administrator rights

Hello,

First of all check whether the folder you want to delete is open or closed. If it is open it won't delete.

Now take the ownership of the folder, try below.

1. In your folder go to share Tab on the top and beside file. 

2. Go to Advanced security, go to change-> advanced-> click on Find Now

3. Select the User and click on OK button.

Now you should see your user inside the permission.

I don’t think that’s a good idea because you are deleting the installation folder of Foxit Reader and I think UAC or User Access Control is preventing you from doing it. Since the folder belongs to an application, what you should do is uninstall the program and not delete its folder.

If you delete the folder, it will give you a much bigger problem because you will not be able to remove the entries it created in your Windows registry because the program has been deleted. If you really want to get rid of the program, download the free version of Revo Uninstaller and install it.

Once installed, start Revo Uninstaller then select your Foxit Reader among the applications and click “Uninstall”. Follow the normal uninstall process. When uninstall is complete, click “Scan” to scan your computer for any leftover files and delete everything it finds. This removes everything the program created on your computer. When it is finished, close Revo Uninstaller and that’s it. The program has been removed including its folder.
