Folder Won’t Delete

Do you have a file folder that you can’t delete? I had one that was created from Adobe Premier Light Leaks. After I uninstalled it, I simply could not delete the folder structure. When I tried to remove it, it said it couldn’t be found. Here’s how I removed it.

  1. Open CMD prompt in Administrator Mode.
  2. Find the path to the folder you want to delete, but can’t.
  3. Enter this into a command prompt:
rd /s "\\?\C:\Path\To\Folder\That\Will\Not\Go\THISFOLDERWONTDELETE

Then hit enter. Once you’ve done that the folder should be gone.

I tried opening in safe mode. I tried applications. I tried CMD -> DEL.. Nothing would work. RD worked and it’s gone forever. I literally had a folder stuck on my PC for years. Hope this helps!
