Windows 10: Can't delete the contents of NGC folder

I have never set up a Hello PIN. Suddenly my Microsoft 365 apps are asking for me to set one up. It will not let me decline the request. My outlook.com email is no longer working in Outlook. I have managed to give myself rights to the NGC folder, but I can delete the contents . My account is personal and is not shared. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Windows Hello Pin won't allow setup - Tried Ngc folder contents deletion

At some point I stopped being able to log in with my PIN or fingerprint reader. Since logging on with my password and trying to reset the PIN I have not been able to use Windows Hello.

Trying to add a new PIN leads to the eventual message of "Something went wrong. We weren't able to set up your pin..."

Following instructions from various help forums I have deleted the contents of the Ngc folder and have also tried resetting the Access Control Lists on the Ngc folder. Neither of these things have worked.

Does anyone have any further suggestions?

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:
