Windows 10: A folder is undeletable and it says that its not found

for clearance, I am running windows 10s and I cant run command prompt. I also don't want to disable 10s as it keeps my battery alive and I don't get viruses.


im looking for a way to delete this undeletable folder without using commandprompt or any other software windows 10s cant run, do you guys have any idea how I could do that?

:)

 

The Undeletable Folder


Hi there.

Yesterday there popped up a folder on my C: drive that is being absolutely stubborn and I can't get it deleted.

Things I've tried so far:

• Select folder, press delete key
• Right click folder, select delete option
• Rebooted into safe mode to try and delete it
• Tried to take ownership manually
• Tried to take ownership with script

I still can't get this folder deleted and it's kinda driving me nuts. Anytime I've tried to delete it or look at it (outside of safemode) it says I need permission from SYSTEM.

Image of folder is attached to post.

You could try the fully functional Revo Pro trial uninstaller, monitor the installation of Boxcrypt, then uninstall it using the monitored data. That should be more complete.

Otherwise as you suggested (but back up the registry first) search and delete any occurrence of Boxcrypt remaining.

Searching the registry is most conveniently done with a 3rd party tool that searches the whole registry and lists finds, unlike regedit which stops after each find.
E.g. OO regedit (free) - which includes an address bar (path)




You can also use a freeware program such as
Locate32
Everything (void tools)
Ultrasearch

- these quickly index every file and folder so you can do an instant search of your file system for Boxcrypt.
I'd not know how to cope without these. (I prefer Locate32). Note- they don't index content.

It's probably in use.
What is it? Can you attach some more screenshots, perhaps of the photo files?
