Windows 10: How did Windows conclude that there are ten directories under Local Settings\Application...

I have grown tired of Windows 10 refusing me "administrative privileges" to do numerous tasks, so I am attempting to "Take Ownership" of various elements of the operating system. I am the Admin, and I am the only User on this computer.


So this is a bizarre development. In the command prompt, it can't find the path of some of the Application data; and that is no surprise, because this is what it thinks the path looks like, apparently:


The system cannot find the path specified. "C:\Users\[MY USERNAME}\Local Settings\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Code Cache\js\c2f5b5c05ae44ed5_0"


The question I have is, why are there 10 levels of directories called "Application Data" ... In fact, these directories do not exist. There is only one level. I wonder how it is that Windows thinks there is a Russian doll structure of directories inside of directories, all with the same name? And how to repair this if possible.


I have so many questions these days. I thank you for the help you offer here.

Directory Size Utility

First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel?
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
