    User folder says empty


    I have just bought a new laptop and have added it to my network, I am trying to open the user file from another computer on the network but when I open it I get a pop up that says the file is empty. I can access it from my little note book and all the files are there but not from my other 2 laptops. I have checked all the file sharing settings and they are all ticked for file sharing on the network.

    :)

    "You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder"

    I keep getting this error message when trying to delete an empty user folder. I deleted the user account already off of my computer and I am the only one with an account on my computer anymore, and there was still a user folder in 'Users' that was completely
    empty.

    I have full 100% admin access to the folder. I've tried shredding the folder and it says my anti-virus has it in use. It also says I "need permission to perform this action" and it says it needs my user account name's permission to make changes to the folder
    at all.

    How can I delete it?

    can i delete C:\Users\Default\Documents in windows 10 pro

    Hi Tamil, when you say C:\Users\Default\Documents is using up space, can you provide a screenshot of that folder and please report the size of that folder . . .

    That folder is normally empty in Windows 10 . . .
