Forcefully deleting folders which cannot be deleted gives me so much of self-satisfaction. That CMD trick I never knew. Thanks!

[bigbrain]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

tried cmd and powershell method they didn't work but EMCO worked like a charm, just needed a reboot. You're a life saver ❤️

Lots of love 💖

Thank you SOO much! I was finally able to delete an annoying file with a super long file name. Thank you!! I appreciate your step-by-step instructions and examples. This is exactly what I needed. I am a new subscriber! You ROCK! :)

Thanks a lot! The command prompt threw a revert as "access denied" but EMCO did the job quite easily

[jbrigman]

Perfect! I'd tried several other supposed fixes but yours actually worked.

Thank you so much! I had a stubborn EPIC Games folder that refused to budge. Your video is so clear! I tried the first two methods you mention, to no avail, and then downloaded the EMCO UnLockIt software. Unlocked the folder and deleted it! Worked like a charm!! You saved me! I thought I'd have to wipe my whole computer! Thank you!! I've subscribed.

You my friend are a living legend, I had a very shady miner installed that was taking up 70% of my cpu, and I just could not delete it with any programs I installed, you saved my computer from meltdown

THANK YOU! Instructions worked exactly as you described!

Very helpful video. Ended up needing to use the UnlockIt tool and worked great! Thanks for making this video!

Thank you so much SIR! I have solved several problems seeing your tutorial.

[mitherbee]

Thank you, thank you!!! This was making me crazy. I appreciate your help!

Thank you. This has been an issue with Windows 11 not wanting to delete files/folders that I want removed. These command prompts are great, I had a MS OFFICE folder in the programs directory, which is x64 files, that was refusing to delete from the command prompt. So with the help of unLock it, I was able to successfully remove that folder, making me, one happy camper.

oh my god you are the best person ever!!!! The tutorial worked and its super easy and understandable. I hade a file and a folder that didn't allow me to delete them but after using the program i now could delete them and the satisfaction was amazing!!! 10/10 best video ever!!!

[elsgaming]

Thank you so the second command worked for me. It is great how you put multiple ways incase some of them didn't work for other people 👌
