In blank database, files appear with Owner Engine

H

With Access 2002, I create a new blank database. 5 files from another
database on my account appear in this new database. I cannot delete them
since the owner is Engine. How do I change the ownership to Admin so I can
delete them?

Thanks,
Please respond to me directly at (e-mail address removed) as well as this forum.

I am assuming you mean 5 tables. Do the names of those tables begin with
MSys????? If so, you do not want to delete them. They are system tables and
the database needs them to run. If you don't want to see them then go to
Tools > Options > View tab and remove the checkmark from System objects.

Thanks so much! Actually, there are 6 - and if I'd looked
at the names more carefully, I would have realized they
were system tables. They are AccessStorage, XML, ACEs,
Objects, Queries and Relationships, all starting with MSys.
