    Windows keeps deleting my folders when working with Photoshop


    I have had this issue with both windows 10 and now the new 11. I have had many folders randomly vanish. I was working today and had a folder minimized that I was saving photoshop files into.Then, I open the folder to look at the contents and it's just a folder of file explorer. The folder is no longer in the downloads folder.I start the process again after I search and can't find it or any of the files names within.I place it on the desktop this time.As I save multiple files, it does it again. The folder turns into a file explorer window and the folder and all contents are deleted.At this poin

    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.

    Windows keeps deleting my folders when working with Photoshop

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Windows keeps deleting my folders when working with Photoshop ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
