    Folder cant be deleted even after editing permission


    I am trying to delete a folder that contained an application that required me to allow them to monitor almost everything. I have tried to delete it and most of it has been deleted except for the main folder the sub folder which contains a .sys file. I have tried to edit the permissions to my account however even after doing so it would say a message that I require permission from the administrator aka the user profile I am signed into regardless when the only user profile I have in this laptop is the administrator account

    Folder cant be deleted even after editing permission

    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.
