  1. "Walrus.ws-release.Win32" folder. Virus?


    I downloaded Star Wars Battlefront II from EA Desktop/Epic Games Launcher, and was confused to why it wasn't opening. Eventually, I found this "Walrus.ws-release.Win32" folder in Documents with a "crash_dumps" folder, where there are several crash dump .mdmp files inside. The newest one was created at a very similar time to when I opened the game.When researching about this folder, all I found was how it could be a virus, but after scanning the files and folders with McAfee, free Malwarebytes, Windows Defender and checking them with VirusTotal, they didn't detect anything.If the details help

    :)

  3. Can't delete $Windows.~WS

    Hi,

    This folder is created by Windows, during the upgrade process and you may delete this folder.

    Some times this will create an error when trying to delete this folder and I suggest you to restart the computer, sign in with Administrator account and follow the below steps again:

    Right-click on Start button to open the Win X Menu. Select Command Prompt (Admin).

    Now copy-paste the following and hit Enter to delete the contents of $Windows.~WS directory

    takeown /F C:\$Windows.~WS\* /R /A

    icacls C:\$Windows.~WS\*.* /T /grant administrators:F

    rmdir /S /Q C:\$Windows.~WS\

    Hope the information helps in resolving the issue. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
