Windows 10: Windows 10 Video-File / Folder won't delete, Quick Access loads long

Hi,

following Problem i have now since around an Hour and can't seem to fix.
I made a Picture-Folder on my SSD, where the OS is also installed, inside the Programm Folder. No Problem so far but now i downloaded a short 'Meme'-Video and saved in there (.mp4). Thats where trouble started. Now my Windows Explorer sometimes doesn't show all of the Stuff on the left Side, Quick Access loads long and i can't delete the Video nor the Folder it is in.
What i already tried is changing the Properties of the Folder to General Items, was of no use, re-started the Explorer, cleaned the Quick-Access and deleted all temporary Files. I also tried to archive and Delete the Folder with WinRar but it gets stuck once it tries to delete the .mp4 Video File. Then i tried to Force-Delete through 'cmd.exe' but that didn't worked either. I also downloaded the Software 'FileAssassin' but it hangs itself up just like WinRar. Re-starting PC also doesn't do anything. I've contacted Microsoft Support but they don't respond/answer and i can't find anything for this Problem on Google, only the same Stuff i already tried / mentioned above.

I would really appreciate if anyone knows how i can fix it and delete that damn Folder.

:)

 

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
