Windows 10: Delete Passguard_x64.sys

I am trying to delete a driver called Passguard_x64.sys I can't find it anywhere. Tried device manager and looking for a driver in windows terminal still nothing. Basically, tried everything I could find online. It was a banking program with a Chinese bank for security. I uninstalled the program, but this driver is still there. It is blocking memory integrity security. I have no idea how to get rid of it. Thanks

:)

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.
