The following commands shown in example 3. I retried the takeown command with the following changes…”takeown /F c:\Windows.old\* -R -A -D Y” which was successful in changing the ownership conditions on all files in the Windows.old directories. On examination of the explanation text below the suggested commands, I noted that the trailing command switches to the command should have a dash (-) preceding the command switches instead of the slash (/) as shown in the example. Tried this and it was not successful in changing the ownership conditions of any files in the target directory. is “takeown /F c:\Windows.old\* /R /A /D Y”.

Dear Administrator: Please note that in the command sequence noted above (takeown /F c:\Windows.old\* /R /A /D Y) to manually remove Windows.old directory and its contents has a typographical error… the command shown om example 2.
