Running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I downloaded the alternative Cygwin terminal Console but don't want it anymore. I'm trying to delete the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Console2\Console.exe and despite my best attempts can't get rid of it.

I am an administrator and have tried deleting it by running my command prompt as an administrator. I've also tried takeown /f Console.exe (as admin) but get Access is Denied.

I can't change the permissions on the file through Security>Advanced>Change Permissions - again, Access is Denied.

If I look at the file in mintty, it looks like this:

$ ls -l
total 784
-rwxr-x--- 1 ???????? ???????? 799232 Nov  1  2010 Console.exe

Is there anything else I can try?

Add your user account to the permissions group (top pane security tab) for the Console2 folder, once you are added, give your user account full control of the folder. – Moab Sep 26 '11 at 20:14
