Your_delasre 16 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) I've had War Thunder installed without playing it for a while (Read, Months), and decided to uninstall using steam. Now, there are still leftover files which I deleted, but one folder located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\War Thunder needs "admin permission" to delete it. Note: I am the admin. It needs admin permission from: S-1-5-21-3458474618-92495070-1511259807-1002. I'm not kidding. Help? EDIT: I've also done the program uninstall as well as the steam one. Not sure if that made a difference. EDIT 2: I can't reinstall on steam either. I also can't move them. Or rename them. Looks like they're locked.

EDIT: Due to me being inactive, I can't reply... So I'll answer in these edits. It's not the whole war thunder folder, it's just that folder, a few inside of it, and the things inside there, Edited June 7, 2017 by POWER_PIPLUP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredericusRer 5,088 Report post Posted June 7, 2017 Well, i thought it were a specific folder in \War Thunder path instead of the whole war thunder folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After are installed it into a custom folder i.e. D:/Steam everything uninstalls normally. But if install it to any programfiles forlder i always have to manually kill tasks to get permission.

Kill tasks? Is there any specific task I need to kill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
