Hi, Your user account needs to be set to administrator. It is probably that yours is not. Go into Users and Change User Account and check what yours is set to. If it is standard, then you are not an admin.

I am trying to delete folders which I am unable to delete because despite being a single user with administrator privileges, Windows does not allow me to delete the folders. I am trying to abolish Panda Security software; I guess the developers have put obstructions in my way.

I am the single user of this computer so not too sure what is meant here. How do I actually become the Administrator?
