Deleting a folder that requires TrustedInstaller

Hello,

I accidentally selected to save new apps on D drive, and some new folders appeared on my D drive. However, I didn't want that to happen and now I want to delete those new folders. Whenever I try to delete WindowsApps and ProgramFiles folder on D drive (those
folders exist and are used on C drive) i get message that I'm required a permission from TrustedInstaller to do that task. How can I delete those unused folders that require such permission?

Greetings,

Ivan

 

Unable to delete a particular folder. Error: "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."

Windows Edition 10 Version 1809, OS build 18272.1000

After installing the latest creators update I have the following issue. When using Explorer to delete a folder that is not empty I always get this issue: "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder." It doesn't matter
if I just created it or not. I can remove the folder just fine using rmdir <folder> /s /q.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Using explorer create the folder c:\users\rob\a\b\c.
2. Using explorer try to delete folder c:\users\rob\a.
   1. It fails with "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."
3. Using explorer delete the folder c:\users\rob\a\b\c -works just fine
4. Using explorer delete the folder c:\users\rob\a\b -works just fine
5. Using explorer delete the folder c:\users\rob\a -works just fine.

This will also reproduce the issue

1. mkdir c:\users\rob\a
2. mkdir c:\users\rob\a\b
3. mkdir c:\users\rob\a\b\c
4. Using explorer try to delete folder c:\users\rob\a.
   1. It fails with "You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."

This is a new behavior and is causing some build tools to fail.

Thanks,

Rob
