  1. How to delete a phantom folder from Windows 10 Photos | Folders


    First, this is/was a Music folder, NOT a Pictures folder. I have even deleted the folder and its contents from the computer. But it still appears in Photos | Folders. How to remove it--and then replace the Music folder without Photos picking it up again?

    :)

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink How to delete a phantom folder from Windows 10 Photos | Folders ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
