Hi Thorsten,

 

Did you start your command prompt as an administrator?

Go to start => Begin typing command => Right click on Command Prompt => Choose Run as Administrator.

 

Best regards,

      What happens when you try to delete it from the GUI using Disk Management? Do you see any error message in the Event Log?
