    @Hrant
    you have other options if you want to remove that folder.
    1 Boot to safe mode, and try to delete the folder.
    2 download this bootable program made by one of our members. Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk

    3 Download a version of Linux, like Ubuntu 15.04 put it on a USD stick, this app WILL Delete any folder/file on your windows.

    A refresher course.
    Thank you.
