    error 0x80070091


    I have tried to delete the windows.old folder to make a little space available. It won't delete even tho I have tried changing the name os the folder, attempted to delete it using Glary utilities, and attempted to change the ownership of the folder I'm a bit uncertain about this last one. Anyway, the folder won't delete. Is there a tool available to get this folder gone? I'm using Windows 10 Home on a pc. Anybody ????

    :)

    Hi David, thanks for your question. I'm Graeme, a Microsoft Community expert and fellow user.

    There are a number of suggestions to troubleshoot this error in the below article:

    https://www.thewindowsclub.com/error-0x80070091...

    It suggests trying to rename the folder first, and if you can't do that then run Check Disk and restart Windows Explorer.

    If you need assistance carrying out these steps or the problem persists, please let me know and I'll see what else we can try! Thanks!
