I was not able to use these steps to delete the files (4 total). It says I need administrator permission to delete. I even tried renaming the files and it wouldn't allow that either. Any other simple steps to resolve this issue?

I have a driver that is prohibiting me from turning on memory integrity. The driver is wdcsam64.sys. How do I turn it off or delete so I can turn on memory integrity?

Then right click on it goto properties... Then security.
You must "take ownership" of the directory/folder and items in it.
Then add your login ID as a user with full permissions.
Once complete... You can delete the system files... Being an admin is not enough.

2023-06-28T18:48:27+00:00 I tried exactly what you suggested but there are 3 files. two are in same folder. I took ownership of folder with my login but it says I need permission from "trustedinstaller" to make changes. The folder with two files says I need permission from "system" to make changes. Did not work as stated
