  1. Can't delete junk files.


    I'm using an MSI computer. I was writing an awesome and super-long document. I accidentally saved it as a .html file. I want to delete this file but I don't see a delete button. I tried dragging the file to the Recycle Bin, but I couldn't because a prohibitory symbol appeared. I released the mouse and then it didn't delete. Help me as soon as possible, please.

    :)

  2. Window 10 or Defender do not automatically delete virus created junk folders + files??

    Hi Carol,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I apologies for delay in response. I will certainly help you with this.

    I understand you need to delete virus created junk folder (Quarantined items).

    Quarantined items are those items that were prevented from running but were not removed from your PC. I suggest you to follow the below given steps and check if it works:

    • Press Windows key and type Windows Defender and hit enter.
    • Click on History tab in Windows Defender Window.
    • Click on the Quarantined items radio button and click on history.
    • Check and select all the items that appear as junk.
    • Click on Remove button to delete them permanently.
    • Check and verify if all the junk folders and files are remove.


    Hope this information helps. Post back with updated issue details for further help.

    Thank you.

    Can't delete junk files.

    Junk Files

    Most of the junk files you mentioned belong to the browser. You can delete browser junk by going to browser settings and seleting history.



    Uninstalling an app will clear the junk files for that app.
