    Can't delete any file or folder


    Hello everyone! I am facing some serious issues with my Windows 10.0.19044 Pro, build 19044 Version 21H2. When I try to delete, copy, cut or paste any file, the windows explorer crashes and the file keeps unchanged. This happens in any folder and if I try using ADM credentials again the explorer crashes. Besides, some software that I have been using without any problem for long now are also collapsing. Ex: MegaSync. Anyone know how to fix this? There is any way that does not involve reinstall windows?

    :)

    Can't delete any file or folder

    Hidden folders

    I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

    When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

    I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
