Windows 10: Delete Folder

Hello everyone,

A long time ago, i downloaded some application to play games on my PC (not important)
Today i wanted to do a little bit of cleaning on my PC and I wanted to delete the folder which contains application and some other stuff but it says that I can't delete them because I need some permissions from my own PC.
I don't know what to do ? I really want to delete this folder because it takes up a lot of spaces on my SSD.
I already tried to :
Delete it with CMD
Delete it with Powershell
Reclain the permission

Sorry for the bad english

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.

In such cases it is often possible to use this 3-step process:

1. Move the folder to C:\

3. Delete the folder
