You have to delete all security politics for your file using security options. Then you have to add yourself like the owner. If it doesn't allow you to do that you have to boot up in Safe mode and in the Safe mode to do everything what you need. The reason why you have to be in the Safe mode is really simple. In the Safe mode windows boots up only files which are necessary to start the operating system but not dedicated files. I think, when you are trying to delete that file the system uses it that's why you cannot delete it in usual working mode.

Why does delete command in ftp failed?

You might not have permission to delete files. On a Linux server, it could be either: 1. You are not listed as the "owner" of the FTP file -- then you'd need to "chown" or change ownership 2. That you don't have the permissions to delete -- then you'd need to "chmod" the file if possible

How can I delete a folder in my pc whose name is too long and I can't rename it?

If you are unable to rename or delete a folder by usual means, you may first have to change file permissions of that folder. One convenient way is to install the Take Ownership shell extension or this one. That allows you to right-click on a file or folder and click on Take Ownership to get the permissions needed. But you can do it through the Properties dialog as well if you know what you are doing. The Permissions tab is quite intimidating for those who are unfamiliar with it, so that is why using Take Ownership is recommended.Then you should be able to click on the file name to open it for editing or right click and then select rename or delete.If all else fails, get the Unlocker tool. The right-click on the object you cannot rename or delete and select Unlocker on it.
