Solved

Hello,

As you read in the title, I can't delete a folder. The folder I want to delete is named "Reference Assemblies." I've already fiddled with the folder properties a bit. At first, it asked for permission from TrustedInstaller, but now it asks for permission from DARA-PC\DARA. Knowing that DARA-PC\DARA is me! I don't see why it asks for permission from myself, well anyway. Please help me.

Thank you.

    Hi,
    uh, where did you find this folder? And why do you want to delete it?
    Could you provide the full path?
    It wouldn't happen to be in a "Program Files" type of folder, would it?

    There's a good chance you're trying to delete a folder that's useful to your operating system; usually, if you're being asked for admin or TrustedInstaller permission in File Explorer, it means you're doing something that's not great.

      There are several ways, are you logged in as an administrator?
      And could you give me the full path to the folder?

      Yes, I am an administrator.
      The path is, I type "C:" in the Windows search bar and I come across the Programs Files x86 folder, I click on it and then I find "Reference Assemblies," the folder I want to delete.

      Yes, that's what I thought, especially don't delete it, trust me, it's not a virus or anything dangerous!
      If there is any bad software hiding in there, try running a scan and cleaning it with your antivirus and the software MalwareBytes

      C-à-d? Were they indicating the presence of a malicious file on your PC?
