You are on the right track. You can delete encrypted files with proper permissions
without being able to open them. Try taking ownership at the parent folder where the
files reside and then select the option to replace owner on subcontainers and objects
to see if that helps. See the link on profile copying. I have not tried it myself
yet, so let me know if it helps. --- Steve
