    I can't delete this folder which won't delete. I have tried everything, i think.


    I can't delete a folder. This folder needs to be deleted though. I reset my pc and the folder i am trying to delete is the one where apps were installed on my d drive. I go to set my default app location and it says error. I did plenty of research, tried software such as assassin, tried changing ownership to everything possible, tried cmd, nothing has worked.


    This is a cmd log where i try to delete it regularly
