      So, what do you mean by "cannot delete it"? The folder disappears? Or any error code displayed when you tried to delete it? I have tried it on my computer and there's no problem getting rid of the folder.

      LOL... don't bother. If you use third party tools to remove it, trust me, you will uninstall Windows. You can re-install Windows when you restart your computer.
