It seems you don't understand what the logic of that test was. I was checking for the existence of the file after Remove-Item -Force to verify whether the file had actually been deleted.
Here's another hopefully more self-explanatory way to prove that Remove-Item -Force does work with "normal" non-hidden, non-system files:. What is normal files? Did these files needs specific permissions to access? Please help to check the related security settings on these files. Best regards,. By "normal" files I mean files that don't have the "read-only", "system" or "hidden" attribute set.

I've got the same issue on a Windows Server R2 with Powershell Files are on a local disk and created under the 'local system' user.
If I run powershell with my normal user with administrator rights with "Remove-Item -Force" I can not delete the files, but without "-Force" I can delete the files just fine.
Very confusing and it seems like a bug to me. See below output when I run Powershell as a normal user with first "-Force", and second without "-Force". Remove-Item -Force -LiteralPath '. In this example I have added permissions to the file with acl. SetAccessRule command. Also what works is that I disable permission inheritance to the file and add it back again. I haven't tested if I have the same issue with this case, probably not!
So conclusion is that Force option verifies permissions sometimes too well and fails where without that option the same command succeeds. I know windows 10 is getting insaner by the minute never, ever ever install an insider version!!!!
Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Windows Client. If you want to play dangerously, fire up a hex editor, find the references to the file in the file system, then manually overrwrite the pointers. Oh, sure, you might totally break your OS this way, but there's no file that can resist a proper application of hardware-level 0s.
If you want help with the System level CMD thing i mentioned i can find some instructions for it. But everything must be done from inside that command prompt. Curious to see if the ESET appears in the list of services or startup after you run the msconfig. Possibly disable the ESET or use the options on the boot tab, restart, then try to load the new version.
Eh, I think out of luck; even though I was able to bypass those access denied errors, I'm now getting them in registry on old ESET keys. I show myself as current owner Administrators group and cannot change the owner say to pure Administrator nor do any permission changes on the DACL.
To continue this discussion, please ask a new question. Get answers from your peers along with millions of IT pros who visit Spiceworks. Things we've tried: Took ownership of all files and propagated down inheritence Used cacls to modify permissions and delete Tried Unlocker to delete after reboot Tried Debian live CD, but it cannot see storage array no wonder, as it's vmdk Used ESETs AV uninstaller tool Safe mode Probably a few more I cannot immediately think of Any other thoughts on removing these files?
