  1. Not able to delete a folder in Windows 11


    I decided to save my user directory to a hard drive as a folder. I then decided to use a different drive and saved it to that drive. Then I took the first drive and wanted to delete everything, but permission was refused. I click on the delete icon and nothing happens and no message. Only answer if you actually know what to do.I am not using command props. I am not going to follow links nor purchase your software. This is really annoying how Microsoft just has bugs with its sofware.

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Not able to delete a folder in Windows 11 ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
