You require permission from “Myself” to delete folder – how to fix

I ran into the same problem: tried to delete a folder (as admin), but got an error message “You need permissions from MYCOMPUTER\Admin …” Somehow this worked:

I just went into the folder and deleted everything inside. Now when I try to delete the folder, it works fine.

Not sure why, but it seems like you found a similar solution. However, there’s no need to use FileAssassin, just simply highlight the folder contents and delete like normal.
