You can use the "take ownership" script at the following link. After installing the script into the registry you can right click on the folder, select "take ownership", and then the permissions should be changed to allow access. This can be used for similarly stubborn files or folders.

Did u try access from : Run>write %temp% then Enter?
another solution is to download Advance System Care to clean ur junk Files

No. Do NOT do that. It's not recommended to use registry cleaners like that one or CCleaner except as a last resort when there's been a major file damage issue, troubled installation or a viral/malware infestation. Just use the regular disk cleanup applet or run that Take ownership script. Nothing else is necessary or recommended.

There is also a Back up after each clean you do just in case...

start cmd.exe as an admin
use the command
set temp
this will display the value of the temp environment variable (it can have a bad value)
then use the command
cd %temp%
and you should be in the correct directory and you can delete files or start explorer from that location by:
start explorer.exe .
the '.' character will tell explorer to use the current directory as the default directory. Useful if the current directory is a hidden directory or if the UI can not expand a directory structure because of forbidden characters in the directory name.
