The 'Access is denied' message indicates insufficient permissions to delete or modify files. Possible reasons include lack of administrative privileges, files in use, ownership issues, or read-only attributes. Suggested solutions involve running Command Prompt as an administrator, checking for file usage, taking ownership, removing read-only attributes, and potentially using Safe Mode or third-party tools if problems persist.

The "Access is denied" message indicates that you do not have the necessary

permissions to delete or modify the specified files and directories. This can
happen for several reasons:

Administrative Privileges: The command prompt might not be running with


administrative privileges. To delete system files or directories, you need to run
the command prompt as an administrator.

File or Directory in Use: If any of the files or directories are currently in use
by another program or process, you won't be able to delete them.

Ownership: You might not be the owner of the files or directories. In such cases,
you need to take ownership before you can delete them.

Read-Only Attribute: The files or directories might have the read-only attribute
set, preventing them from being deleted.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

Run Command Prompt as Administrator:

Search for "Command Prompt" in the Start menu.

Right-click on it and select "Run as administrator".

Try running the rd /s /q "C:\Anvisoft" command again.

Check for File Usage:

Ensure that no programs are using the files or directories you are trying to
delete.

You can use tools like "Resource Monitor" to check if any processes are using these
files.

Take Ownership:

Right-click on the folder or file, select "Properties".

Go to the "Security" tab and click on "Advanced".

Change the owner to your user account and give yourself full control.

Remove Read-Only Attribute:

Use the attrib command to remove the read-only attribute:

cmd
Copy
attrib -r "C:\Anvisoft\*" /s /d
Then try deleting the directory again.

If you still encounter issues, you may need to boot into Safe Mode and attempt the
deletion, or use a third-party file unlocker tool to remove the files.
