I cloned my C:\ drive to a flash drive as a precaution when upgrading W11. I no longer need those files. But when I try to delete them, some give a popup stating I need Administrative permission. I click "Continue," and get to 'Folder access denied.' How do I delete those folders?

Reformat the flash drive.
No permissions are needed and everything will be removed.
