I had an issue where something in the Windows file system got corrupt and I couldn't delete a certain folder. The error I got was "Could not find this item". I tried a lot of things like renaming, moving, etc., but nothing worked. This finally did it:
1. Open up a command prompt and go to the parent directory of the problematic directory.
2. Run
3. Run
4. Run
1. Open up a command prompt and go to the parent directory of the problematic directory.
2. Run
Dir /x and make a note of the 8.3 format version of the folder name. It may be shortened, with a ~ in it.3. Run
Ren <8.3 folder name> <some arbitrary new name> to rename the folder.4. Run
Del <some arbitrary new name> or just delete the renamed folder in Windows Explorer.
