    Every method on the web fails to delete a desktop folder that reappears.


    I've tried every method offered on the web to delete a desktop folder that reappears and none of them work; changing permissions, shift-delete, delete in safe mode, etc. The folder still comes back. Scanning with MS Safety scanner and Symantec antivirus find no malware. How can get rid of this folder?

    :)

  3. Reappearing files I deleted

    Hi Aleander,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We understand how you feel about the situation. We're sorry for the trouble.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to delete the folder and check if it's reappear.


      • Open the Command prompt with admin (Windows +x and select Command prompt).

      • In the command prompt, type the command below and press enter.

        NOTE: Substitute
        Full Path of Folder within quotes below with your folder's full path within quotes instead.

        RD /S /Q "Full Path of Folder".

      • The folder should now be deleted.

      • Close the command prompt.
    Please reply to us with the status of the issue and check if it helps.

    Thanks.

    Suddenly reappear a deleted folder

    I notices two other strange things.
    1. The folder is not complete empty. It has also a folder inside. In this folder is exist also a empty folder.
    2. I tried to move the 'Public' folder to wastebin and the I asked from Bitdefender to erase the waste bit. Bitdefender read this name wrong. See attachment.
    3. When I confirm to delete it, it said that access denied - See second attachment.

    PS: The folder name between the two screenshots is different because I restore the folder, change the name and move it back to wastebin.
