    I can't delete Windows.old folder - a subfolder doesn't exist


    After the second wave of October Update, I can't delete the Windows.old because a sub-sub-sub-sub folder (hereinafter the X-folder).

    The X-folder I can't rename it, delete it or force delete through powershell (with admin right ofc).
