I have a computer that has a folder named "found.000", which I suspect was the result of a chkdsk operation. I want to delete the entire folder and it's contents but Windows won't let me. I get an error message saying, "You need Administrator permission to delete this file", then when I click "Continue" I get a second message saying, "You need permission to perform this action", and below that, "You require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this file".

I've tried everything I can think of; I've logged in as Administrator, and even removed the disk and put it in a docking station on another computer, but no dice. I don't know how to get, "permission from SYSTEM...".

Could someone please tell me how to get that permission and delete that folder?
