    Cannot Delete WoW

    So i went and uninstalled WoW the regular way, but it didnt take so im trying to delete it manually.

    Its in C:/users/shared/games/world of warcraft , when i try to delete it says i dont have the admin right or whatever, but i am the admin, its shared somehow and i try to unshare it but i cant...

    Reason im deleting is because i need to reinstall it, because ever since Cata was released my WoW crashes 2-3 times per day.

    right click on folder, choose properties, find the security tab, and give yourself full access. Then delete it.

    This is why i recomend to all Vista and 7 users to install wow to a custom folder
    C:\warcraft\
    or something rather than the default folder.. there are WAY to many security restrictions on it.. casuses issues with patches, and addons too sometimes.

    WoW can't ever be uninstalled, only reinstalled. It's a trap!

    /agree I've moved it around by copying the entire folder a few times, in fact I back it up to my external hard drive this way. I vaguely remember having folder security issues when I let the installer do what it wanted.
