    I Right click -> Change Ownership for "winsxs" folder but I am not able to delete it because it has many subfolders. It is a tedious job if I have to Right Click -> Change Ownership for each subfolder then delete it. This happens to other folders such as "System32" "SysWOW64" ... Any suggestions?

    I prefer Linux Mint liveCD to do deletions, but the effect is exactly the same ... folders gone.
