Today when I was trying to decompile .apk file using WinRAR, I got an error and unzipping terminated. After that when I am trying to delete the folder I am getting an error that I don't have ownership of folder even though I am providing administrator permission.
Both file and parent folder of the file in the image gives an error when I try to delete it.
Then I tried doing the same using cmd in administrator mode by a command:
rm -d test
output :: rm: cannot unlink `test': Not owner
I also tried the following command to recursively delete files in a folder:
rm -r test
output:rm: WARNING: Circular directory structure. This almost certainly means that you have a corrupted file system. NOTIFY YOUR SYSTEM MANAGER. The following two directories have the same inode number:
test `test/ '
So I tried the following command to delete recursive file structure,
rm -rfd test
output: rm: cannot unlink `test': Not owner
All the above methods I used are either from StackOverflow or Microsoft QnA page but nothing seems to work.
I tried all this in safe mode also. But still, I get the same error. Twice I also got an error with an error code of 0x80070091
I already tried taking ownership of folder using takeown command.
takeown /f test /r
Output:
SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "C:\Users\mandar\Desktop\test" now owned by user "MANDAR_SADYE\mandar".
SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "C:\Users\mandar\Desktop\test\ " now owned by user "MANDAR_SADYE\mandar".
I tried all the possible solutions I could find but nothing seems to work. If anyone has any suggestion regarding this issue then please post it as answer or comment as you see fit. Thank you in advance.
