Removing Defunct Security settings from a drive

Recommended Posts

Here is the deal I have 2 harddrives, and I formatted my main partition on my main drive a while back. Now on one of the secondary partitions on my other drive I have ghosted security settings for some of the folders. I checked the root of the drive but the account is not listed in there, but the folders and files still have this "ghost account" listed under them. When I go to delete it Windows tells me that its inheriting permissions from the parent object in this case the G drive, though on the root of the G Drive the account is not listed. Do i have to format this drive to get rid of this ghost account or is there another way to clean up these defunct security settings.
