I'm on Windows 7 but experienced this kind of trouble on Vista as well sometimes. When I want to delete a folder when I have previously accessed a subfolder of it, Windows cannot delete it and instead says that I need permissions to do that. I own the files so it can't be that. The problem will usually only go away after I close the Windows Explorer Window in which I viewed the subfolder, or alternatively, I can delete the directory tree manually from the bottom up, files first, and then deleting the empty directories works.
Now, is there a workaround to that? Some setting or policy to tell Windows not to mess around?
No Problem mate... I hope it helps... – user57162 – 2010-12-20T00:48:21.310
After some problems with the 32-bit version which didn't do anything and made me post yet another question at http://superuser.com/questions/223881/unlocker-howto-doesnt-do-anything , it turned out that this actually works. The question remains whether all Windows 7 computers have this problem.
