  • @jamesderek4866
    @jamesderek4866 2 месяца назад +1

    Thank you! Also if "Access is denied" showed in the screen, find the Command Prompt and right click it, run as administrator. Also, each file that you see, if they have different numbers, each number, unique, end the process, one by one, not each copy, only the original number (e.g 1, 4, 5 ->> not 5,5,5)

    Thank you!! I downloaded an online version of premiere pro, and to make it download you had to add it as an administrator. To make a long story short, I regretted downloading it, and uninstalling it didn’t take it away from being an administrator. I got to the Adobe file and it couldn’t be deleted because it said a programme was running. So, used this video and now I’m pretty sure it isn’t an administrator anymore! Thank you SO much honesty you’ve made me a lot less worried about being on my laptop now, knowing that there’s not a company I don’t trust as an administrator
