Say yes to any prompts that come up saying 'desktop' is a system file
Tick the box for Do this for all current items Try deleting it - Windows will ask for Administrator permission, then ask Are you sure that you want to permanently delete this folder? You should now be able to see the hidden $RECYCLE.BIN Scroll down a few lines, and untick Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) Select the radio button for Show hidden files, folders and drives In the Folder Options box that pops up, click on View In the View Tab, click on Options (click on the top part of the button, if you click on the arrow you will then have to click on Change folder and search options) Open File Explorer, click on the SSD drive that had the games on it - you need to be in the root of this drive Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated.Įdited by TheRealSlimShady, 17 March 2021 - 07:21 PM. I am at a loss as to how to get rid of this folder once and for all. Wiztree shows a folder called $RECYCLE.BIN which is greyed out, has the 222GB of files, and only shows up in Wiztree and not in File Explorer. However, after scanning the SSD with Wiztree, it seems that the folder was not deleted at all and is still taking up 222GB of space.
When I tried to delete the folder though, I received an error message saying the folder could not be deleted and yet it still disappeared from my SSD. So basically I had to reinstall the games but since I couldn't uninstall them the proper way, I decided to just delete the entire Windows Apps folder that contained all of these games since this was a folder stored on an SSD that did NOT have Windows on it, and because I knew all I had in there were games. I guess because of the way Microsoft Store apps work, reinstalling Windows messed these games up and made it not only so that I couldn't play them, but the games weren't even showing up in the installed programs list in Control Panel. A few of these games are considered Microsoft Store apps. I have 3 SSD's in my desktop, and one of those SSDs that Windows was NOT installed on, had tons of games installed.
Hi all, so not too long ago I did a clean reinstall of Windows 10 on my desktop after upgrading my motherboard and CPU.
