    rd c:\ /s /q + del /f /s /q c:\ does not break the windows 10


    officially typing this command "rd c:\ /s /q" will broke the windows and no longer get into windows,

    however i'd tested that if i did that and also type "del /f /s /q c:" and the windows screen just suddenly black and desktop is deleted, some botton on taskbar missing.

    before check upgrade

    i use "dism"seems like it work , "chkdsk" , "sfc"it sucks

    but when i check for upgrades idk why i did install a windows upgrade and reboot.before it i did type chkdsk /f

    next time when i notices it successfully reboot, and seems like nothing bad happened
    but sfc did find out that there is corrupted files but unable to fix it rd c:\ /s /q + del /f /s /q c:\ does not break the windows 10 5cd2f7a5-165c-4948-a66e-a7025b7cc1d8?upload=true.png

    Delete Windows.old Folder in Windows 10  


    Tried all your suggestions, not just the one below, and the Windows.old will not delete.

    Successful: takeown /F "C:\Windows.old" /A /R /D Y

    Successful: icacls "C:\Windows.old" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F /T /C /Q

    Access Denied and lists all folders and files: RD /S /Q "C:\Windows.old"

    "del /f /s /q" doesn't work

    I tested your command, with del /f /s /q the subfolders weren't deleted, only the files in it. I assume there still are subfolders in your case, please do a dir Apps after the deletion to verify.

    To solve your request you could run this:
