Windows 10: Unable To Delete Folders In Program Files. Folder names are 1. MS Build & 2. Reference...

Hi,


Day before yesterday, for creating bootable flash drive thru Microsoft chat representative I was asked to download netframework tool on my Lenovo Laptop having Windows 10 Home OS.


There are 2 new folders named MS Build & Reference Assemblies created in the program files of C drive on account of downloading netframework tool.


I am unable to delete the above folders.

I took the help of Microsoft Chat representative for it by giving remote support, still the problem remains the same.


1. Following message appears on screen while deleting the folder named MS Build:


Folder Access Denied


You need permission to perform this action


You require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder.


2. Following message appears on screen while deleting the folder named Reference Assemblies:


Folder Access Denied


You need permission to perform this action


You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this folder.


Please provide me the required support enabling me to delete these folders.


Thanks and regards

Raju

Trouble deleting a folder

Thanks for the suggestion but it says "delete folder failed for E:\....." for each folder I try.

*Confused

Will I be forever stuck with these unnecessary folders? *Oh Well hwell:

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.

 

Hidden folders

I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
