I was having problems with this program (bitTorrent) and i decided to try and uninstall it so i did but it just stayed on my computer even after reboot i can still use it but it doesn't apear on the uninstall list. so i opened file location and it took me to appdata and i decided to just delete the whole bitTorrent folder (even though that's not actually uninstalling it) but i couldn't delete it i get a window reading "you need permission to do that" but im an admin and an owner of the folder. i did some research and i found something about changing your permissions in properties and sure enough my admin and user don't have permission to delete or copy or move anything in appdata but when i try to change it to give me permission i get an error saying access denied. so in all i would like to know how can i get bitTorrent off my computer please help
 
Solution
Reboot into safe mode. Delete the folder from there.

Open msconfig, click the startup tab
Disable bittorrent
Apply and reboot into windows normally
