    How can I delete $Windows.~BT\NewOS (usual methods don't work)


    I know this has been asked and answered many times, but I'm still having problems.

    I used windows disk cleanup of system files and this deleted all the folders inside $Windows.~BT except for one (NewOS), but this is a large folder (13.46G containing 84,503 files)!. Disk cleanup never gives me an option to delete old versions of windows. I have tried deleting stuff inside the NewOS folder but I always get "permission denied" despite using all the suggested attrib, takeown, and icacls commands. I've also tried to give myself ownership with full control using the security tab (from folder properties) but it "failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied."

    I have reason to suspect that the NewOS folder is corrupt, but chkdsk and the windows disk scanner all say that there are no disk problems. I also ran the IObit disk checker and it also said that the disk was fine.

    Is there a way to delete $Windows.~BT/NewOS even if the folder is corrupted?

    Thanks
    ~Paul

    How can I delete $Windows.~BT\NewOS (usual methods don't work)

    Creating Windows 10 media error code: 0x80070017-0xA001B

    I deleted $Windows.~WS, then tried to delete $Windows.~BT, got:

    15341 items recycled
    Time remaining: More than a day
    Items remaining: 0 (0 bytes)

    Weird: More than a day to delete 0 bytes? So, I executed the batch file (as you suggested)

    takeown /F C:\$Windows.~BT\* /R /A
    icacls C:\$Windows.~BT\*.* /T /grant administrators:F
    rmdir /S /Q C:\$Windows.~BT\

    It did something; then, I got many like these, even though I was running shell as administrator:
    C:\$Windows.~BT\NewOS\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\ink\tiptsf.dll - Access is denied.
    C:\$Windows.~BT\NewOS\Windows\System32\wsock32.dll - Access is denied.
    C:\$Windows.~BT\NewOS\Windows\WinSxS\AM3242~1.1_E\bthprops.cpl.mui - Access is denied.
    C:\$Windows.~BT\NewOS\Windows\WinSxS\AM3540~1.356\MicrosoftEdge.exe - Access is denied.
    C:\$Windows.~BT\NewOS\Windows\WinSxS\X8BCCA~1.0_N\System.Transactions.dll - Access is denied.

    So, I tried to delete (as administrator) folder NewOS, and failed:

    Folder in Use
    The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program.
    So, your Method 1 failed.
    Method 2, step 5 is: Rename the file as AllowOSUpgrade
    But… If OSUpgrade were not allowed for some reason, would the program not tell me that from the start, instead of telling me 'We're not sure what happened'?
    What is the meaning of error code: 0x80070017-0xA001B?
