    A specific folder in Windows 10 can't be deleted from hard drive.


    Hello,

    I am running Windows 10 version 1909 os build 18363.815. Recently I downloaded a exe file from internet for renaming Better File Rename 6.19. It was zipped and i unzipped it using winrar and put those contents to "D:\00\" and one of the folder of the content was is in the name of "Better.File.Rename.6.19." and i installed it and now want I kept the zipped file and i want to delete the unzip contents of zip folder. All contents deleted except that folder. After applying several methods of deleting, I am unable to delete that folder.

    method 1: I used 'unlocker' software to delete the folder and it says it will delete folder at next reboot. but it failed every time

    method 2: using of command prompt. I used the following code to remove the folder


    C:\WINDOWS\system32>d:

    D:\>takeown /f "D:\00" /r /d y >out.txt


    /---output of takeown in out.txt

    SUCCESS: The file or folder: "D:\00" now owned by user "SHAHADAT\User".

    INFO: The system cannot find the file specified. "D:\00\Better.File.Rename.6.19."

    D:\>icacls "D:\00" /reset /t >out2.txt


    /---output of icacls in out2.txt

    D:\00\Better.File.Rename.6.19.: The system cannot find the file specified.

    D:\>rmdir /q /s "D:\00"


    /---output of rmdir

    D:\00\Better.File.Rename.6.19. - The system cannot find the file specified.


    Method 3: I entered to safemode of windows 10 and try to delete the folder


    /---output of dialogbox

    Item Not Found

    Could not find this item

    This is no longer located in D:\00. Verify the item's location and try again.

    I did that everything from Administrator Account. but failed in every time.


    Looking forward to your response.

    :)
