Can't delete Font ... NOT Windows Fonts

Hello,

I have two separate hard drives in my HP Laptop, running Vista Home
Premium, 32 Bit. I also show the partition for my Vista re-install.

On the second Hard Drive I use it strictly for miscellaneous storage
items. Today while going through some fonts I had saved from a group I
discovered Vista WILL NOT let me delete those fonts I don't want ..
*THESE ARE NOT INSTALLED Fonts*, only in a Font Folder on the extra
storage drive.

::Here is an example of what is going on :::::

I SELECT THE FONT I WANT TO DELETE > HIT DELETE
Get the following Windows Message:

*Are you sure you want to send this to the Recycle Bin > I click
CONTINUE

Windows needs to Confirm this > I click CONTINUE

Windows need your permission to continue > I click CONTINUE

Then I get Destination Folder Access Denied > Try Again
*
I don't understand because the destination is the Recycle Bin and that
is where I want the stupid things to go ..

If anybody can help me I would be so appreciative, this is driving me
nuts.

Am I going to have to stop UAC again in order to delete these??

Thank YOU in advance for even reading my post.

Jenn

If you try to change the name of the folder on the second hard drive, the
one upon which you have saved the font files, will the system make the
name change? If not, what is the error message, if any?

THANK YOU so very much Tom for responding.

Okay, it let me rename the folder, it was titled Fonts and I re-named it PSP
Goodies.

I went into the folder however it still won't let me delete a single font
there.

I don't want to delete the whole folder, it has some fonts I want to use in
my Paint Shop Pro program that is when I get brave enough to try and install
it.

I am totally frustrated with Windows Vista, I would have never thought about
a font that is not even on the system drive not being able to be deleted.

Is it because it has a font file extension?? Does Vista not allow deletion
of font extensions??

Thank YOU so very much for any help given.

1. Please let me know the complete name of the font files that you want to
delete.

2. Let me know the names of a few other fonts in the folder.

3. Create a folder off the root of one of your hard drives called anything
at ell _except_ do not start the name with font. E.g. c:\sillytest
would be OK. See if you can copy the fonts to that directory. Let us know
any messages.

4. Right mouse click on the folder name. Check Properties Check General
See if there is a Security section at the bottom of the window - I am not
concerned here with a possible Security tab at the top of the window. Let me
know.

Tom,

First, THANK YOU so much for trying to help me.

I will answer your questions below each question.

Answer: Rockfont.ttf and Montague.otf
Right now there are only 2 individual fonts and a couple of zip files.
As I said before these are only fonts that I want to use at a later date and
DO NOT want them permanently installed into the Windows system.

Answer: The two named above ..
No other Individual fonts there, a couple of zip files.

Answer: Created a NEW folder called "PSP Things" .. on the Storage D:\ drive
did not want to put the folder on my System C:\ drive.

Yes, It allowed me to Select All> Cut >> and Paste >> into the NEW
Folder called "PSP Things" WITHOUT an error message.

Answer: Right Clicked on the NEW Folder called "PSP Things" folder was
Read Only, removed that.

Tried deleting both of the named Fonts .. Still NO luck.

Right Clicked on the Rockfont.ttf ... the font properties DID have a
Security warning that read:: This font came from another computer and might
be blocked to protect this computer.

Clicked the UnBlock button, still won't delete
Asks if I want to sent to Recycle Bin, tell it YES
Tells me I need permission >> Retry >> Click Retry >> give same message over
and over again.

I have UAC disengaged right now

Right Clicked on the Montague.otf ... the font properties DID NOT have a
Security Warning on that it.. however, still won't delete either.
Same as above, asks about Recycle Bin then goes to the Need permission.

Checked the Advanced Attributes on both font properties:: Both are the same
Check beside >> File is ready for archiving
Check beside >> Index this file for faster searching
No Check beside >> Compress or Encrypt

Does Vista restrict deleting .otf or .ttf file extensions ??

I can't imagine having to open the properties of every single font you want
to delete, but then again, NO CHANGES that I have made are letting me delete
either font anyway.

I appreciate any feedback on this you can help me with and apologize for the
delay in trying these procedures. Wanted peace and quiet to work with your
instructions.

Thank YOU so much.

I have storage folders on my desktop that I can delete and restore from the
recycle bin from without any issues.

One thought. Are these fonts actually installed into Vista? If so, try to
uninstall them using the font uninstall feature (basically Control Panel,
Fonts, right click on font name and then delete it.) See if the file can be
deleted now from your storage folder or if it is already gone.

If you want the font installed don't delete yet but copy the font file to a
different location and attempt reinstall from the location you have
specified on the second drive but ensure that the "Copy fonts to the fonts
folder" is checked. Once reinstalled, see if the font will delete now.

Right-click on the file you want to delete -> Properties

Security tab

Hit Advanced button

Owner tab

Hit Edit button

Hit Other users or groups button

Type in your login name

Hit Check Names button
(it should have your machine name and user name ex: User-PC\User and
underlined if you typed in a valid login ID name)

Click OK button

It might say you have taken ownership of this file, etc

Click OK button and close rest of the dialog boxes.

And try to delete the file.

OK.

Go here-

and see instructions on how to take ownership of the files. After that, you
should be able to delete them.

Let us know.

Thanks for the feedback. I must say-that never occurred to me.
