Windows 10: Can't delete this Folder from my Desktop

Attached is the screenshot of the name of a folder on my desktop - and a screenshot of the contents. Also included is a screenshot of the error message I get when I try to delete this folder. This folder is no longer needed so I'd like to delete it as part of my housekeeping. Thank you....

Can't delete folder from desktop

Hi Carole,

The "You need permission to perform this action" error shows up because there could be some changes that may affect your computer that's why an administrator rights is needed. Since you're the admin of the computer and still can't delete the folder, we suggest
that you close all of the programs that are running on your computer before deleting the folder. You can also do it in the Task Manager by ending the process of the programs. See the screenshot below:





If the issue persists, you can try to delete the folder in the command line. Here are the steps on how to do so:

• Press the Windows icon + X on your keyboard.
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Right-click on the folder that you want to delete, then click Properties.
• Copy the Location of the folder. For example (C:\Users\your name\Desktop)
• Go back to Command Prompt, then type in this command RMDIR /S /Q (Location of the folder), then hit
  Enter.

It should look like this:





If an error message shows up, we suggest that you capture and post it on your next reply.

We're looking forward to your feedback.
