Windows 10: Cant delete this folder - nothing works so far

Hi,

I've tried reboot in safe mode, cmd.exe, orbit unlocker, AVG shred, sfc/scandisk, chkdsk....nothing can get rid of this stupid folder. It was created by camtasia studio 9 after rendering a video. There is no folder code for it in cmd either in administrator or regular


......... and this is what the properties security tab says...





....any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

:)

 

Trouble deleting a folder

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:

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
