Windows 10: Can I delete a malicious program by deleting it's App Data -> Roaming folder?

Hello,I've been finally trying to wrangle a virus I got about a month ago the 89n3pdyzzakoh7w6n8zrjgddktjh8iwfg6ekrvi3kvpq copy paste error one, in particular and I've run multiple full scans of my computer with Windows Defender and the program/s responsible have never been flagged. I was able to find the malicious program in question through the Task Manager, as it did not show up when I went to "Add or remove programs" in Settings nor in the Control Panel. However, the only traces of the program I'm able to find are its App Data -> Roaming folders plural, there seem to be multiple. Wo

Trouble deleting a folder

Thanks for the suggestion but it says "delete folder failed for E:\....." for each folder I try.

*Confused

Will I be forever stuck with these unnecessary folders? *Oh Well hwell:

 

Can't delete folder!

If you ever get more 'malicious' files that dont let you delete them

Use a program called "Gypo Moveonboot"
It stops the files from executing on bootup, which allows you to delete them without any "illegal error" messages. But its only for files, i dont think it does folders...

 

Software to monitor a folder, backup, then delete?

Is there such a software that will allow the monitoring of a folder to not only backup, but also delete the data? For example, if I was to have a netbook, and it has the built-in card adapter for my camera, I can just copy all the files over to the netbook in a specific folder (ie, ::Temp Pictures), then the next time it connects to the internet/network it will search the folder for any new files, copy them over to my main PC, then delete the Temp Pictures data?

I've been looking into doing this, googling and whatnot, and it seems like there are a LOT of options for monitoring folders for updates, new data, copying, etc, but I haven't quite found one that allows you to delete after copying.

Thanks! *Smile
