When I got the alert to update Adobe Flash 10.x, it was listed in 2 locations. One location, in C:\Programs can be updated, uninstalled, etc without a problem. The other, in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, will not update, will not uninstall and can not be deleted. I finally opened the folder and deleted each file in it, one at a time. This worked until I got to the *.ocx file. When I try to delete this, after all the windows permission popups, I get a message that "Destination Folder access is denied" - even though I am in Administrator mode. I even tried renaming the file (to "junk") - it still can't be deleted. On the theory that its size (3.9MB) might be the problem, I tried opening it with an editor and deleting to contents - but windows won't let me save the edited file! What do I have to do to get rid of this? Tom Filipi |
