Windows 10: Unable to delete folder - vsmwrke

There is a program running in the background and I'm sure it's a virus. It's probably left over and it's putting up one hell of a fight.

I thought I had it all solved, I was wrong.

Double clicking the folder it's hiding in gives me an error, Access is denied. Not accessible.

Malwarebytes, rootkit, adware and spyware can't get into it nor delete it. Wise Force delete, super anti spyware, and unlocker also fail.

I can not take ownership and the pc cannot locate ownership.

Unable to delete a folder

Hi,

Strangely, yesterday I can't even delete the folder Resolve but today it works with the rd command in dos. Windows suprise me all the time !

Thanks

 

unable to delete folder

well you see here's the thing. i can delete all the items inside the folder, but not the folder itself. idk why, just discovered today.

 

Have you tried booting into safe mode and deleting the folder?

 

yes. still get the same error

 

C:\Users\Felony\AppData\Local\vsmwrke

Jetbrains which is what program some of the virus files were originated.

take ownership does not work either.

 

Have you identified any running processes associated with Intellij or Resharper etc.

 

cosutng.exe associated with Jetbrains s.r.o. ....

 

So this is a running process that you cannot right click and end process?

 

Correct. Access denied. Taking ownership fails as well. Changing permissions Fails. I have tried everything including CMD takeown command. Nothing works.

 

I am speaking of the Task Manager under the processes tab, you have to end the associated task to gain access to the folder. If a process from inside the folder is running in Windows, the process in task manager must be killed before you can do anything with the folder.

 

I understand you, I tried, it says access denied. When it comes to that file the computer acts as if I am not the admin. I have gone through the procedures to confirm to the computer that I am.

I have just tried yet another 3rd party remover, lock hunter and it claims the folder was deleted but then it just came right back!

 

Is it using alot of resources or any popups?

 

During games it's causing my cpu to jump to 100% It has 7 windows/tasks in the task manager.

I'll just try resetting my windows.


Update, no can do. I can't pull up recovery nor access past restore points. The system acts as if it didn't acknowledge my selection and just sits there. The loading cursor pops on for a split second and nothing.


Still attempting to rid the folder containing the file. Nothing seems to work. iobit, unlocker, fileassassin, filegovernor, UnLockIt.

At the very least I was able to unlock it with some programs but still denied access to delete.

 

If you hold down the left shift and select restart in the power icon, will it take you to the reset screen?
