Windows 10: 500 FOLDERS IN REPORTARCHIVE

For the past 5 days over 500 subfolders were created in the C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/WER/ReportArchive folder. Normally, I would just delete them, but they keep coming back. I have not experienced any problems with the PC. They all have the same title however the numbers for each entry differs, i.e.: NonCritical_SymantecCorporat_6014fb3eab5852f41756e7387eb0f9f34fea5c_00000000_1ab45ad0

NonCritical_SymantecCorporat_b118699523b866dfd835589cea83641b65060b9_00000000_23ff8ab8Once the sub folder is opened the Report.wer file entry is as follows:

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder


Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

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.
