Windows 10: Forcing a delete on Windows 10

Hi,


I have set up a new Windows 10 after a huge system crash. I used linux to recover my data. Since I did not want to copy Windows System files and similar I deleted them from Linux. They got moved to a .Trash folder.

After a new install of Windows 10 I wanted to delete this .Trash folder. It is not possible. Nether from Windows nor from Linux nor in Safe mode nor with power shell remove item -force nor with command del /f nor with IObit unlocker. I tried to add me as owner or to change rights. But as soon as I try to inherit this to the subfile subfolder my permission gets denied. I have admin rights and I executed explorer as admin as well.

I am running out of Ideas.


Best

Windows 10 forced download

I actually had a client call yesterday with an email problem. when I tried walking him through some steps, he says "Yeah, I don't see that there, but I think it's because it's updated to windows 10. It did that a few weeks ago. I came back in on Monday, and it said Welcome to Windows 10"..... I think I'd throw the computer out the window.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 forced download

I kind of solved it myself. I can't be arsed with uninstalling this or that, so I just took ownership of c:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\Setup\ and then deleted everything related to gwx in Task scheduler. That should effectively block it.
Now I just need to find list of IP addresses to block that are related to all possible telemetry garbage and similar stuff.
