Is there a way ro delete Files or sub files that won't delete? I have a new issue with a security advanced protection feature that always does a 30 min + scan on a fresh startup or a restart hogging up my HD as in 100%. This issue has been known since 2019 and no known fix. I have tried to delete undeletable files for a very long time with no luck - usually embedded within the OS ir appears.
