    Stuck start menu group (can't delete)


    Got a couple of empty groups I can't delete. They normally go away when you delete all the tiles, but these didn't.
    I ran my usual script to delete all bloatware from MS that comes pre-installed, so their tiles got removed but a couple groups got stuck.

    What I tried:
    1) finding a way to readd some app onto these groups so I could attempt to delete it again. Couldn't figure out how.
    2) renaming to an empty name. Doesn't help, it gets invisible until you move your mouse over, and you can't resize the start menu because the group is actually still there.

    Help?

    :)

    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:

    How Delete a Group From Start Menu


    Either, right click and unpin each and every tile within the group til the group is gone, or
    drag all tiles to a new group.

    in Windows 10 Support
    Group names on start menu: Is there a setting to remove "group names" and grouping on the start menu. To the right of the group name input box there is a "2 slice" hamburger that does not do anything except invite naming of the group. I would prefer to have free alignment if that is possible. 53954
