Re: Cant delete rainmeter folder
my problem is that right now,rainmeter isnt loading any skin,not even its default one.re installing it doesnt change anthing,deleting remnant files after uninstalling isnt succesful bcoz the file cant get deleted,specifically the one in C:\Users\name\Documents-what remains in here are all my skins only-

Re: Cant delete rainmeter folder
Hi Devkibet
What do you mean by "couldn't delete"? Permission denied? You couldn't delete it even with administrator privilege? If the Documents folder is your documents folder, you should have full ownership for it, strange as dvo said.
Or... isn't Rainmeter still running when you tried to delete the skin folder? Better to check with Task Manager.
