  1. I canot fix my downloads folder.


    I wanted to move my downloads folder in my D: drive, but I made it so that the contents of the D: drive appear in the downloads folder, which is still located in C:\Users\Username. Now when I to the same procedure but I clicked Restore Default. It asked me the same thing, I clicked yes and it told me that it failed to build the list of regular subdirectories under "D:\System Volume Information". Acces denied.

  3. topgundcp Win User
    Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


    Suggestion:
    1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
      x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
    2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
    3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
    4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
      NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
