I have a file in my computer name Windows.old. In that sub folder i have users then my name then desktop and finally 2 files. The 2 files are empty 0 ko. When i try to delete those files i always received this message : verify current location and try again. Of course the location is not good anymore, it is an old windows shortcut!. Now i've try everything. Even in safe mode. I'm sure there is a way to do it with a cmd command or any other way. Thank you for your help. Lievre
To delete the file, run Command Promt i (Run As Administrator) Type the following command: del /f /s /q /a C:\Windows.old or RD /S /Q %SystemDrive%\windows.old or any dir,
That method did the job. First i did it in cmd and then delete manually the folder. All the other method did not work for me. Ownership: nop. Did not try the chkdsks. And the microsoft link did not work also. Thank you guys for your precious help. Appreciate. Lievre
Since it is a legit part of old Windows use the MS method, that is why unlike the other thread made about near same topic on same day I did not suggest safe mode or unlocker. You should know what Disk Cleanup is if you use Windows.
