I've mapped a folder and Windows won't let me delete anything in it or place anything in it, Come on windows, it's my computer, I'm an administrator, I mapped the drive but I can't do anything in the folder unless I go through file explorer to get to it.

I happen to be Jim Allen!

Can we see the share permissions?

Rboppy · Saturday at 2:14 PM

Check this tutorial...try taking ownership of the file and see if you can delete it.

Used it in W10, kinda forgot about it.
Didn't work for me on the mapped drive or a file on the mapped drive.

Can you show us the sharing tab, are you doing basic sharing or advanced sharing?

Rboppy · Saturday at 4:32 PM

See the first post, that's the error I'm getting while trying to open the Share.

Are you on the computer locally and have rights to view the directory ACLs?

From the screenshot it looks like your remotely trying to view the sharing permissions, log onto the system locally and show us the permissions and share tab

Rboppy · Saturday at 5:03 PM

I'm on the computer locally, don't know what rights I have.

This is the Properties:

This is the Securities:

The Advanced is what I showed in post 3, and this is the total Share tab:

The fact that your missing the sharing tab on the first two screens leads me to believe you have the Server service disabled.

Win + R
Type 'services'msc'
Look for 'Server'
Make sure it is started and start up type is automatic

Rboppy · Saturday at 5:10 PM

Server is running and startup is automatic

pseymour · Saturday at 5:39 PM

How about Win-R, and run fsmgmt.msc. Can you see share permissions in there?

Rboppy · Saturday at 5:45 PM

No drive V is not in the list. Doesn't seem to be a way to add it either.

pseymour · Saturday at 5:59 PM

Drive V is how you mapped it. The name of the share appears to be “d”

Rboppy · Saturday at 6:21 PM

I do have a drive D partition, how did you know it showed a D?

Good points, go to properties on D drive this is where share permissions will be

Rboppy · 2025-05-04T13:22:45-0400

That was it! Drive D was shared but the permissions were not full. Thank you!!

Why not just boot any Windows install disk -->repair system-->command prompt and then simply manually delete the offending files / directories.

OK too late - I see you've fixed it -- but next time !!
