Hi all. I'm trying to clear up as much space as possible on my Windows install so I can then install Linux. But there are three files that refuse to be deleted. I get an "access denied" error. They are located in the Application Data/Apple Computer folder. Inside there, there are three separate iTunes folders, each with a 75MB quicktime installer .msi file. These are the files I can't remove.

I even tried a tip from a magazine, which was to open a command prompt, then close the task "explorer.exe", then do a DEL command, but I still got an access denied error. As far as I can tell, nothing Apple-related is running, and these are just installers anyway.

Any tips on how to remove them?

Thanks!
