Have you already uninstalled FreeMake from your PC using the usual method?

Boot your PC into Safe Mode as explained below

Press the Shift Key and click Restart

Your PC will boot into the Windows Recovery Environment

Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart

Upon restart, press 4 to enter Safe Mode

Once in Safe Mode, open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

On the Processes tab, look for any FreeMake process or any other process which may be accessing that FreeMake folder and end task on the process(es)

delete all FREEMAKE files

Hi Kat

I am an independent advisor here to help

This folder should belong to an application called freemake. There are a few there's freemake video editor, freemake system improver, etc

I would start by looking in your apps better installed for anything that starts with the words freemake and uninstall it so that you can delete this folder
