File deleter

[Alexzz_]

so some time ago i used avast antivirus as my main antivirus software, i have since switched to bitdefender and have deleted avast trough its own uninstall program. however it also came with a "safezone browser" the files of which never got deleted. So now im stuck with these files that cant be modified and i cant change the permissions no matter what i do even tough i am the administrator. This is probably due to the fact that any dangerous virus will try to attack the antivirus and delete it as soon as possible, so avast made it very hard to delete the files. But now im searching for a good file deleter program that can take care of these files for me. Can you guys recommend me some?

Try safe-mode and use the command prompt for claiming files. Make sure to elevate it or "Run as Administrator"

 

takeown /f <foldername> /r /d y

This will claim the folder and it's contents.

 

icacls <foldername> /grant administrators:F /T

This will give full control permissions to the admin to do as you please, which in this case is purge it with fire.

Here is a full source I pulled these commands from.

This should do.
