Hi,
I’m trying to delete the following file:
C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-ntdll_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_bf207a3b4a3f74b8\ntdll.dll
. I changed the owner to me, and gave my user full permissions to this
file. But in my native API code I get the status - STATUS_CANNOT_DELETE,
when I call NtDelete. I’ve checked with process explorer, no application
has an open handle to this file. Is Windows Resource Protection
protecting this file?
Thanks in advance
And just why do you want to delete the file?

Just trying to write an app that will delete hard to delete files. My
code stops at this file.

There is no such thing anymore. WinSxS directory and a set of ACLs on system32 and such replaces it from Vista up.

Then why can’t I delete this file, it is obviously not used by some
process. I’m running Windows 7 x64.
