Go to Play store and search for Ccleaner and get it installed on your tablet..

after it is installed run the app and scan for unwanted files

it will help you in clearing the junk files or temporary unwanted files

You remove folders by removing the program from the control or settings. Some DLL files are shared by other programs . "Permission may relate to being logged in as administrator or running windows explorer as administrator right click on explorer and check if option to run as administrator" Becareful deleting DLL files as they may be shared

Step 1:
You might not have the appropriate software installed on your computer to show / read the files

Wait several minutes, and then attempt to access the folder again. Go to the location where the file or its folder are stored on your computer. Lock files are hidden files in Microsoft Windows. Select "Show hidden files." The lock files for Windows applications have a ~ symbol in front of the file name. For example, for test.txt, the lock file is named ~test.txt. In UNIX, the lock file may be identified by an extension of .lock or .swp within in the file name. Delete the lock file. The locked file or folder unlocks. Reboot your computer, and bring it up in Safe Mode. This prevents the startup of many of the system services and programs that could be locking the files or folders. Attempt to access the folder location and its contents. If the folder is available, save the folder or its contents in a directory to which you have access. Record the active processes running on the computer and the programs available in Safe Mode. Then, log into the computer after a normal boot up. Review the applications running in the background in normal setup. One of these applications may be preventing access to the file folder and its contents. If there are applications that run in normal mode that do not run in Safe Mode, turn off those applications. Then, try to access the file folder again. b> Are the Security Permissions for the Folder or Its Contents Preventing Access? b> Check the file folder permissions by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "Properties." In the "Properties" dialog box, select the "Security" tab. The "Name" list box includes the user and group permissions. If there is no "read," "read and execute," or "write" permissions in your user profile, you do not have permission to view the file folder or its contents. These security permissions are typically set by system administrators. System administrators may be trying to prevent end users from altering system files that are critical to the computer running smoothly. Contact your system administrator, and request local administrative rights to the computer. This allows you to gain access to the files and folders that are restricted to administrators. Edit the system policies using administrative tools via the gpedit.msc program. Users can add, read and modify permissions for folders and other objects via this program. Full control is the best system policy, because it includes read, write, execute and modify rights. However, access to the gpedit.msc program may be restricted, as well. Go to the command line (press on the "Windows" and the "R" keys on your keyboard at the same time), and enter the CACLS command for the folder name. Use the command format: C:\> cacls <foldername> /E /G <username>:F CALCS stands for Change the Access Control ListS. This command allows you to add your user name to the security settings to permit access to the protected system folder when the gpedit.msc program is not available.

Hi,

Seems like files and/or folder is write protected ( in Read Only Format ).

Right click on the folder and click on properties. Check if there is a check mark on Read Only or any such other check mark. If so, remove those check marks and then open the folder and try to delete.

If this does not work, Check with the file you wanna delete in same way.

If it still does not work, you most likely do not have permission to delete files on your PC profile that you login with. You either need to be administrator of the PC with admin rights or the person who has the admin profile should give you full rights on your profile.

Regards,
Ron

First step is to check if the file sharing option is checked in my computer folder options.

Start- My computer- TOOLS - FOLDER OPTIONS- and click on the second tab VIEW- scroll down to the last option which will show as USE SIMPLE FILE SHARING.

Level 1: My Documents (Private) loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); The owner of the file or folder has read and write permission to the file or folder. Nobody else may read or write to the folder or the files in it. All subfolders that are contained in a folder that is marked as private remain private unless you change the parent folder permissions.

If you are a Computer Administrator and create a user password for your account by using the User Accounts Control Panel tool, you are prompted to make your files and folder private.

Note The option to make a folder private (Level 1) is available only to a user account in its own My Documents folder.

To configure a folder and all the files in it to Level 1, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the folder, and then click Sharing and Security.
2. Select the Make this Folder Private check box, and then click OK.

Local NTFS Permissions:

• Owner: Full Control
• System: Full Control

Network Share Permissions:

• Not Shared

Level 2 (Default): My Documents (Default) loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); The owner of the file or folder and local Computer Administrators have read and write permission to the file or folder. Nobody else may read or write to the folder or the files in it. This is the default setting for all the folders and files in each user's My Documents folder.

To configure a folder and all the files in it to Level 2, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the folder, and then click Sharing and Security.
2. Make sure that both the Make this Folder Private and the Share this folder on the network check boxes are cleared, and then click OK.

Local NTFS Permissions:

• Owner: Full Control
• Administrators: Full Control
• System: Full Control

Network Share Permissions:

• Not Shared

Level 3: Files in shared documents available to local users loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); Files are shared with users who log on to the computer locally. Local Computer Administrators can read, write, and delete the files in the Shared Documents folder. Restricted Users can only read the files in the Shared Documents folder. In Windows XP Professional, Power Users may also read, write, or delete any files in the Shared Documents Folder. The Power Users group is available only in Windows XP Professional. Remote users cannot access folders or files at Level 3. To allow remote users to access files, you must share them out on the network (Level 4 or 5).

To configure a file or a folder and all the files in it to Level 3, start Microsoft Windows Explorer, and then copy or move the file or folder to the Shared Documents folder under My Computer.

Local NTFS Permissions:

• Owner: Full Control
• Administrators: Full Control
• Power Users: Change
• Restricted Users: Read
• System: Full Control

Network Share Permissions:

• Not Shared

Level 4: Shared on the Network (Read-Only) loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); Files are shared for everyone to read on the network. All local users, including the Guest account, can read the files. But they cannot modify the contents. Any user can read and change your files.

To configure a folder and all the files in it to Level 4, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the folder, and then click Sharing and Security.
2. Click to select the Share this folder on the network check box
3. Click to clear the Allow network users to change my files check box, and then click OK.

Local NTFS Permissions:

• Owner: Full Control
• Administrators: Full Control
• System: Full Control
• Everyone: Read

Network Share Permissions:

• Everyone: Read

Level 5: Shared on the network (Read and Write) loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); This level is the most available and least secure access level. Any user (local or remote) can read, write, change, or delete a file in a folder shared at this access level. We recommend that this level be used only for a closed network that has a firewall configured. All local users including the Guest account can also read and modify the files.

To configure a folder and all the files in it to Level 5, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the folder, and then click Sharing and Security
2. Click to select the Share this folder on the network check box, and then click OK.

Local NTFS Permissions:

• Owner: Full Control
• Administrators: Full Control
• System: Full Control
• Everyone: Change

Network Share Permissions:

• Everyone: Full Control

Note All NTFS permissions that refer to Everyone include the Guest account.

All the levels that this article describes are mutually exclusive. Private folders (Level 1) cannot be shared unless they are no longer private. Shared folders (Level 4 and 5) cannot be made private until they are unshared.

If you create a folder in the Shared Documents folder (Level 3), share it on the network, and then allow network users to change your files (Level 5), the permissions for Level 5 are effective for the folder, the files in that folder, and the subfolders. The other files and folders in the Shared Documents folder remain configured at Level 3.

you need to Take ownership of those files...
For Files:

takeown /f file_name /d y
icacls file_name /grant administrators:F
For Folders or Directories (will perform action recursively):
takeown /f directory_name /r /d y
icacls directory_name /grant administrators:F /t
Replace file_name or directory_name with actual file name or folder name, with path when applicable. The first command will take ownership of the file or folder specified, and the second command will grant full control permissions to administrators user group. Note that when using command for folders, to command will run recursively. To prevent the task been perform recursively, remove the “/r” and “/t” switch.
Above two commands have been scripted in Windows command shell batch script that easily perform the task of taking ownership and grant full control permissions to Administrators user group by typing simple command. Alternatively, users can add “Take Control Of” option to right click menu so that the next time you need to take control of a file with full control permissions, it’s just a one click task.

If you want to delete unwanted videos and download that cannot be deleted you can try to check the permission of certain files..Right click on the files or folder chhose properties, then security then add Everyone on the list of user to gain access or to have permissions to delete the files or folder..If this will not work or you don't have the security tab..You can use cacls command for xp or Icacls for vista and windows 7..If cacls and icacls is complicated for you..You can download icesword and have the files or videos force deleted..then reboot system..

1. Connect your player to the computer.
2. Launch Windows Explorer.
3. Select and delete the unwanted music, pictures or video files under Philips. For voice recordings, select and delete the unwanted recording files in the Voice folder.
