how do I delete user/appdata folder

Hi,

I deleted a user and the users folder is still available with a lot of
data stored in the hidden user/appdata folder and subdirectories. I
can't delete it because of permissions, I think.

Maybe I should back up a bit. Is it ok to delete this folder? It's a
completely removed user.

Thanks,

Tanner

Examine permissions for that folder. You can remove them all if you have
administrative privileges. You have to also remove inheritance if it is
going to hold you back. It is doable. After that it will be sailing.
