Mysterious Folder

I am pleased to report that I was finally able to move the mysterious Search folder back to its default location! The folder fought me tooth and nail and was extremely reluctant to move. I wish I could report to you an exact process that I used, but I attempted and reattempted so many processes that I can not lay them out exactly. I can say that the largest contributing factor to my success was understanding and executing a proper stop of the Windows Search process. Initially, Windows kept restarting it automatically without me realizing it, and thus prohibited me from being able to move the folder. Once I got the process stopped, I repeated multiple steps to successfully move the folder.

After I moved the folder, I opened command prompt as an administrator, and run sfc /scannow one time, which returned the message "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." I have also executed a search within my Purchase Receipts folder and the results were both successful and speedy. And lastly, I have restarted my computer several times and the mysterious Search folder is staying put in the default location. I feel very good so far that my issue is solved!

Thank you Greg for staying with me and continuing to help me. I could not have achieved this without your help!

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
