    <p>Ok, let me get some things out of the way first.</p> <ol> <li>I have OWNERSHIP of the folder via Administrator profile.</li> <li>I have set Permissions for FULL CONTROL (Allow checked).</li> </ol> <p>I did the 2 things mentioned above after looking on SO for related answers to my question.</p> <p>BUT, despite having ownership and full control of the folder I still get the error in the question title: Folder Access Denied. WHAT?!</p> <p>When I check the subfolders in the folder I want to delete I noticed that I didn't have ownership and full control over all of them. I tried to individually right click each subfolder and take ownership/full control and then delete them (this works), but there are 1000s of folders...and it's tedious to delete them all manually this way.</p> <p>I'm familiar with checking off "Replace owner on sub-containers and objects" when in the advance security settings....but doing that still doesn't allow me to delete this darn folder.</p> <p>HELP!</p>

    2. CO"Ownership of the folder via Administrator profile" doesn't actually mean anything. Do you mean that the Administrators group is the owner of the folder? To which security primitive have you given full control, Administrators or your own account?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
