Windows 10: Can I delete CacheClip folder in Videos?

Hey, My C: Drive is current on Critically low Space. I am trying to clear up some space and I saw that my CacheClips Folder located in Videos has 35GB worth of data on it. More in specific there is a folder within CacheClips with a really weird name. Can I delete this folder without deleting any important files? I have an editing software called Davincii Resolve 17 which requires the original SOURCE file of the edited video to run. I work as an editor so I need those files. In short Can, I delete the CachClips folder without A. Damaging my system B. Deleting source files of videos and C. Corru

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:

 

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.

 

Moved a folder from another drive and rename and it still shows as the old folder name in certain places

Hi Nick,

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check the behavior.

• Create a new folder name it as 'My Videos'.
• Now copy/cut and paste the contents which are in the folder "Videos", and delete the folder "Videos".
• Now check the behavior.

Please keep us updated with the status of the folder, to assist you further.
