  1. Cant delete discord file from local app data


    There would be a pop up that says the action cannot be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program. I am unable to open the discord app, even when I tried reinstalling it. Please help.

    :)

    delete app data local files windows 10

    Your solution didn't work I found an answer to my problem. Click into the internet explorer file on toolbar. Double click OS ( C ) located on the List Left Side of Page. Double click Users on list created then you can click files eg. App. Data, Temp.,
    etc. Click View top right on page then click box to show Hidden files top center of page. The files in question can now be deleted.

    Can't Unistall the Discord App

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Some programs can be uninstalled with their own built in uninstallers and Windows Add/remove programs feature as well. Both uninstallers can uninstall the main executable files of the program, but do not remove the other components (files and
    data) of the application.

    Click on Start button (Windows logo) and, look for the application folder name in the list of apps.

    Expand it and follow its uninstaller to remove the program.

    You can also go to the folder where the application is installed and run the uninstaller.

    Go to C:\Users\your username\AppData\local\Discord\uninstall.

    If it does not work, follow the instructions in the link below to remove the app.

    Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed

    To delete the application data, open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key and the R key together.

    Type %AppData% and hit the enter key.

    Locate the folder Discord and delete it.

    Open the Run dialog box again and type %LocalAppData%.

    Locate the folder Discord and delete it.

    Hope it helps.

  4. Cant delete discord file from local app data

    I am Not able to Uninstall Discord (The messaging app)


    Cant delete discord file from local app data [​IMG]


    I feel like I've tried everything to uninstall Discord, but it just won't leave my "Apps& features" list. (Shown on the first picture) I'm using Windows 10 and I've deleted every folder using the "Run" method, (regedit) going
    into my Local data apps and such, and Discord is still there. I've also tried downloading a program (https://support.microsoft.)
    from Microsoft that help with repairing issues (including corrupted registry keys) then it asks to pick a program from the list and Discord does not appear, then it asks for a Product Key, which I do not have.

    I've contacted the Discord support team about this issue, and they suggested at first, to reinstall the app and from there try to uninstall it. But it displays and error (Shown on the second picture).

    Afterwards, Discord support suggested to check out the following link: https://www.auslogics.com/en/

    I tried Method 5, at this point I give up, I need assistance please. I'd be willing to have remote assistance.
