Windows 10: Delete Videos>Captures Folder

Hi,
I can manually delete folders like captures in video but after a restart the folder is created again automatically by Windows.
How can I delete it permanently so it won't create it again?
Thanks.

Changed location of captured video

Hi,

If you can no longer see the location option on the capture folder, you may restore your Game DVR Captures folder location settings. After restoring the game DVR Captures folder location settings, then you can change your Game DVR Captures folder location
again. To do this, you may follow the steps below:

How to restore Game DVR Captures folder location settings

• Open File Explorer.
• Browse to the Captures folder location.
• Right-click the Captures folder and select Properties.
• Click the Location tab.
• Click the Restore Defaults button.
• Click Apply.
• Click Yes to recreate the folder in the old location.
• Click Yes to move the content of the Captures folder to the old location, and wait a few moments.
• Click OK.

Note: After you've completed the steps, the Captures folder will return with all its content to its default location: C:\Users\%username%\Videos\Captures.

After performing the steps above, try to change the location of your captured video.

Kindly update us with the results.

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

• Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
  x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
• Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
• Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
• 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.
