Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

• Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
  x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
• Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
• Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
• 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.
