Zeus_Hunt Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 he did a fresh factory reset before telling me about it. unable to uninstall the file now. should i have him install it again on to D: that hope there is an uninstall opition on the desktop?Did he perform a reinstall after installing the game on D:\ ?If yes then... I believe erinstalling the game on the D: drive might help.ElseBcome the owner of the folder by Right-click the file and select Properties.Click on the Security tab.Click Advanced in the lower right.In the Advanced Security Settings window that pops up, click on the Owner tab.Click Edit.Click Other users or groups.Click Advanced in the lower left corner.Click Find Now.Scroll through the results and double-click on your current user account.Click OK to all of the remaining windows except the first Properties window.Select your user account from the list up top and click Edit.Select your user account from the list up top again and then in the pane below, check Full control under Allow, or as much control as you need.You’ll get a security warning, click Yes.the only thing i see is the recovery file in D:. there is only a couple 100 mb free in that D: now.Are u not able to find any other folder apart from the recovery folder ?
