  1. Why can't we delete


    On 3/20/2019, I thought I was downloading an update to Adobe Flash Player and was not watching closely to see there were additional downloads. As such, I got several programs I did not want and am now having massive programs. I have downloaded all the programs except one, "CHROMIUM". In using Control Panel, I cannot delete the Chromium program. I have now tried several times and it will not download. When I click to delete it, the system is tied up for a long time and the program is not deleted. I am lost as to what to do and am still having a lot of problems with the computer. I get errors that should not happen such as in Excel I am constantly getting an error message about there being a problem with circular references in formulas even though it is a new workbook and worksheet with no formulas whatsoever. In word I get this error when trying to save new files:

    The following cannot be saved in a macro-free document:

    o VBA project
    To save a file with these features, click NO to return to the SAVE AS dialog, and then choose a macro-enabled file type in the File Type drop-down.

    Continue saving as a macro-free document?

    And then once, and thankfully only once I got this error:


    Upon start-up, ran into situation and an error never seen before. When the system began (booted) it opened a Edge page for Windows Support (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hub/4338813/windows-help?os=windows-10) I wanted to save it to refer to later so I tried to open WORD by using the icon on the task bar. Instead, I got the following error:

    Error found in Custom UI XML:


    Line: 1

    Column: 174

    Error Code 0x80004005

    Failed to find Office control by ID

    ID: mso:AutoSaveSwitch

    OK

    So, again, I have deleted all the problem unwanted programs accidentally downloaded except Chromium and I cannot delete that program even though I have tried numerous time.


    Another issue I am having that I did not have before the unwanted programs were installed is that when i am working in Excel or Word, I will begin typing something and the system will momentarily freeze, then after a minute or so, it flashes the screen off, then an error message that the program is not responding and then it unfreezes and i can work in it again, for some time until it freezes again. It is very frustrating and is killing the efficiency of this system which should be super fast as I have a 1T hard drive, 16G of memory and an external drive where all my data programs are saved.


    So, how do I delete this program "CHROMIUM", other than Control Panel, Uninstall/Change?

    :)

    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.

    Deleting contacts from Windows 10


    When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

    I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.


    • Open Windows Live Mail.
    • Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
    • Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
    • Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
    • Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

    After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

    For Mail app:

    Open People app then delete the contact.
