  2. UNWANTED FOLDER IN START (AMONG START TILES)

    I see a folder in Start which without me doing anything has two apps showing on/in it. I cannot take the apps out of this folder - they keep going back in it - nor can I remove this folder from Start - right-click only shows Resize as a possible
    action. Need help.

    "Special" folder has popped up on my desktop

    A few days ago, all of a sudden a folder names "special" (all small letters), popped up on my Win 10 Desktop. Inside the folder is a folder named "C-Drive", which has inside it "Users - DALE", which has inside it "Documents". The folder "Documents" is
    empty.

    I have no idea where this came from, nor how to get rid of it without causing a problem in my folders structure.

    Welcome to TenForums @FufflesPL

    This is probably due to the permissions you are trying to change being inherited permissions. Try higher up where the permissions are being inherited from. Possibly as far up as:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

    tried Steam, Steam/steamapps, Steam/steamapps/common, Steam/steamapps/common/DontStarveTogether

    still nothing, the same errors appear

    Could I somehow overcome permissions and delete this whole folder?
