Unable to accesss/uninstall/delete utorrent

Hi,

 

I am unable to open/delete/ uninstall utorrent. When i am trying to open it (either via menu, or clicking the desktop icon) it is showing an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

 

I have been using utorrent for more than a year and I have never seen such a message. I have not created a new user. I only have an admin user through which I am accessing the application.

 

Similarly, when I am trying to uninstall Utorrent from the control panel, I can see an error message "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall uTorrent. Please contact your system administrator."

 

I tried navigating to the %AppData%\uTorrent and delete the files. However, I am not able to delete the files as well.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks

Double-check the security properties on the files and folder.

I am not that tech smart.  I am having the same isse, I do not have enough suffiecient acces to unistall the program.  When you say 'secrity properties in files and folder' where can I locate that?  I have an old and newer version of utorrent and I want to delete them both and start again but all I see is what looks like a newspaper under progarms and features. or an envelope with a picture on the left hand side.  I know it sounds crazy but there is no typical utorrent logo? I have a pic but do not know how to upload to here sorry.

Can any one help me please???
