Windows 10: Task Scheduler stops responding when deleting a task and tasks not run!

There is a task I created on Task Scheduler Task Library/ Microsoft and I tried deleting it but for some reason I cannot delete it as Task Scheduler just stops responding. I know there is a way to delete the task from command prompt, but this one I do not know how as it is not directly in the Task Library. I followed other steps and was able to delete the task, by going to the System 32 folder/ Tasks/ Microsoft and deleting the Task. I would like to take advantage of Task Scheduler but since there are issues with it I am not able to fully exploit. Even when I create a task it does not get exe

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.
