    Windows 10 creates a folder that has label "xxxx" that is very large and I would like to delete it but it i locked

    Hi Nigel,

    It's possible that the folder you wish to delete is saved on a drive that is secured by BitLocker, we recommend that you first turn off the BitLocker on the suggested drive by following these steps:

    • Search for Manage BitLocker on the Ask me anything bar.
    • Locate and select the drive where the folder is saved.
    • Click on Turn off BitLocker.
    • From the dialog box, select Disable BitLocker Drive Encryption.

    Once you've disabled BitLocker, locate and delete the desired folder that you wish to remove from your drive.

    Note: We highly suggest that you check first the content of the folder before deleting it.

    Let us know if you encounter any challenge along the process.

    Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

    Hi,

    We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

    • You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
    • The drive must be BitLocker-protected.
    To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, click Control Panel, click
      System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
    • A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

    Let us know how it goes.
