As you can see, that 'empty folder' cannot be accessed by the system itself, let alone by me...

So I went back to normal non safe mode and there it still was, all 93 Gigs of it, and IO thought Id open it up and try deleting whats inside...



And I require permission from Administrators to do that. But I AM the Administrator ! Its a personal PC with no other user accounts on it whatsoever !

I think at this point I'm gonna give up, cause I can see myself getting more and more messed up if I continue... I've still got like 253 GB free space on 'C'... Prob best to just let it live there as long as its not bothering anyone...
in windows10 you do not work as administrator by default.

please try this:

press [Windows] + [E] to open the explorer

change the path to C:/Windows

RIGHT click on explorer.exe and choose "As administrator" and confirm with yes

now you are using the explorer as administrator and should have every right to delete.
