    Tasks still show in Task Scheduler despite being deleted

    The OP has not mentioned deleting any program files.
    The folder identified by the OP contains Task scheduler task definitions and nothing else.

    I am not trying to suggest that the method the OP used is a good one.

    System task keeping me from deleting a VHD

    How to delete the task or deactivate it from popping up again.

    Hello Moh’d Hamdani,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    As I have understood, you are experiencing issue with pop up coming on the screen after you reboot the system and now you want to get rid of that popup on the system.

    I certainly understand your concern.

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

    To delete a task by using the Windows interface

    • If Task Scheduler is not open, start Task Scheduler.
    • Find and click the task folder in the console tree that contains the task to delete.
    • In the console window, click the task to delete.
    • In the Actions pane, click
      Delete.
    • In the Confirm delete dialog box, click
      Yes.
    I hope this information is helpful.

    Please do let us know if you need any further assistance, we will be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
