Windows 10: What is the Container folder and why is it missing?

W 10 Pro 64 bit ver. 10.0.19042
Hi,
I recently did a full system scan using Bitdefender after a reinstall performed by a service technician, it found 19 password protected files that couldn't be scanned. This raised some concern as want to know what these files are and that there is no risk from them. The Bitdefender scan logs were to be saved in the Container folder, however after determining where the folder was to be located I found it was not there. I was hoping that it would name the files and their location, helping me to determine if they were a threat. I downloaded a program called Passware Encryption Analyzer in order to find them but it gets hung up 30 min into the scan on file #62,752 and did so 3 times with the settings adjusted for each (it was hung up for 2 days the first time). Does any one know what this folder is, and what program creates it? Can it be recreated so that the logs can be saved for later access?
Thanks

:)

 

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.
