I'm a post-DOS guy and have no idea how to delete a directory using the DOS Command in Windows Repair. I can't delete the folder while in windows because I don't have permission despite being signed on as the administrator. I've tried adding permissions with no success.

Here's the path to the folder:

C:Users\UserName\appdata\local\temp\RT_Mount

Looking for the correct DOS prompt.

This is odd. Using your command changed to indicate my user name, I get a "The system cannot find the path specified" message. I'm certain the path is correct.

rmdir c: \Users\UserName\appdata\local\temp\RT_Mount /s

example
rmdir c:\test /s

Take note to the "backslash" in front of Users.
I was typing too fast and missed it.

rmdir "space" C:\

I just noticed it

sorry about that

Another thing is

Did you try to take "Ownership" using "all users" of that folder when
you tried changing the Security to delete that?

If "UserName" or any part of the Path contain spaces, you must put the Path in quotes.

So ... "C:\Users\Tony M\appdata\local\temp\RT_Mount"

Additionally "AppData" is a hidden directory.
Not sure offhand if that will matter to RMDIR ?

And be aware that using /S is potentially dangerous if you get it wrong.

Like if you had two users; Tony & "Tony M".

> C:\Users\Tony M\appdata\local\temp\RT_Mount
> C:\Users\Tony\appdata\local\temp\RT_Mount

An "incorrect" usage, by not having the path in quotes, like:

> RMDIR /S C:\Users\Tony M\appdata\local\temp\RT_Mount

Could have ended up removing your "C:\Users\Tony" directory tree!


Look what happened here, both in creating & removing the directories:

Being hidden is immaterial to RMDIR, the directory will still be deleted.

Good News.
As long as we use MS Windows sometimes you sill need DOS.
It was good to refresh my memory about it also
I don't need to use it all that often these days.

This Website was very helpful. Give it a bookmark you may
need it again someday.

He he, I still have here on my shelf right next to my computer, a 350 page book on DOS that came with my first computer. I've also had that site in my bookmarks for a couple years.

I wonder if the deletion could have been made using the free "Unlocker" by Cedrick "Nitch" Collomb utility that's been around for years. Deletion is accomplished during next reboot, I think before Windows kicks in.
