Windows 10: Video Will Not Delete

On my Lenovo Yoga 720 laptop, I used the Xbox gamebar to record a game I played. The recordings are saved in the Captures folder within the Videos folder. I accidentally made a copy of one of the videos and for what ever reason, I cannot delete it. If I open my documents, I see a Captures folder under Quick Access which will not go away. That folder houses the video, I can also find it in the Captures folder under Videos in the This PC section. I have tried using the Command Prompt but it always finds nothing or can't understand the command. Please understand I have tried nearly everything sho

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.
