    I would like to delete some items from my start menu in Windows 10


    Hello,I have tried all the suggestions in a previous question that has been locked. This path C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\ProgramsThis path C:\Users\tawnd\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\ProgramsI am unable to unpin any of the programs I want off the start menu. I've deleted all the tiles because I cannot stand them. I would like to remove a lot of things I do not want on the start menu such as clock, my printer utility, CORTANA, feedback hub, mail, maps, edge, Lenovo stuff, Microsoft store, Office, and Xbox. Those are all links that I will never use. I will either

    :)

    Vista - Weird error trying to delete Start Menu item

    Hey mate (yes im from australia)

    I had this problem just before and fixed it pretty easily.
    Have to use the good old command prompt and delete from there.
    Windows is just gettin shitter and shitter isnt it. might go back to DOS soon lol

    Steps> CMD in run > go to the folder (start menu folder) > type: DEL (watever the filename is) and if it says from filename put in the shortname eg. 034Michael short would maybe be 034Mich~l or sumthing like that.

    THIS WILL WORK, THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME 4 TIMES NOW LOL fukin vista!!*Bang Head :banghead:

    Vista - Weird error trying to delete Start Menu item

    I'm trying to delete an unneeded folder from the Start Menu. I right-click and then "Explore", navigate to "Programs", select the folder and press delete.

    It won't let me delete the folder! (It is an empty folder.) The error that comes up is:

    The thing is, the folder IS there. I'm sitting here looking at it. Why is Windows telling me it doesn't exist, and more importantly, how can I finally delete this useless empty folder which is cluttering up my Start Menu?
