Hi ,

 

i have some threats on a folder , after webroot detected they , i try to deleted folder , but show error and can not .

 

then i try use  " permanently erase with webroot " for delete forlder , but again show error .

 

then i erase quarantine and detection configuration and agaian try for delete folder , but can not .

 

when i shut down my webroot and agaian try for delete folder , but again can not and show error " error deleting file and folder " : it is being used by other person or program "

 

could you please help me why i can not detect this folder ?

 

Thanks ,

 

 

 

 

 

 
It looks like the files are locked down by system. Just a precaution, in case of the removed threats placed in the quarantine, please avoid tools to unlock files/folders locked down by system!!! You can rather try to reboot your machine, sometimes a reboot unlocks files. If this is not of a help, I would suggest you to open a support ticket.

 

 
When i deleted all quarantine and all threats activites on my webroot and use permanental erase webroot , i must can erase folder .

 

reboot system for any activities not good .

 

i think you are agree ? yes?

 
If I correctly understand, you already deleted files from the quarantine but there is still a folder that can't be deleted. If so, I think that even Permanently erase with Webroot will not work.
yes .

 

all check many solutions but can not deletec folder .

 
There has to be a reason why infected files were removed but the folder not. So I wouldn't experiment anymore and would contact support to have a look.
If the files were in a locked system folder (recycler/system32/) you wont be able to delete the folder. You will be able to delete certain files from within the folder however. If you submit  a ticket I`ll take a look at exactly whats going on.
Hi ,

 

No , folder is on My desktop .

 

No , i do not sent new ticket , becuase now i have new 3 tickets and i am waiting for answer Webroot support center .

OK well without more information its very difficult for me to help out further.

 

If you create a new ticket with the following heading I will personally look at it. I am in the office for another 3 hours so I can get started on it right now if you want. Just reply here if you have created a ticket so I can check the support system.

 

"error on permantly erase with webroot -FAO of Roy Tobin"
Found your ticket (at least I think I have)

 

Checking the scan logs

 

I may need some full diagnostic logs
It looks like WSA was only installed today at 13:07 so I dont really have much info to go on. I have sent you a request for full diagnostic logs. Since its a folder on the desktop its a little unusual to be denied access on it. Is it on your desktop or are you trying to delete the folder from another users desktop using Windows explorer?
Dear , thank you so much .

 

Now Sir Roy answer me and now send diagnotise .

 

Thank you so much for help me .

 

Best Regards ,

Amir
