permissions - Can't Delete A Folder In Windows 10

I'm trying to delete a folder within C:/ProgramData, but each time I try, I get an error message saying:


"You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from administrators to make changes to this folder."


I've tried - unsuccessfully - to take ownership (using the Properties/Security/Advanced etc method), which has always worked for me before.


I also logged into the hidden Administrator account, and get the same message saying "You need permission" etc.


Don't know what else I can try. Does anyone know how to get around this? Thanks.


Update: I found the issue was that the folder had been created by MalwareBytes - running their removal tool solved the issue.
