Unable to browse Macrium backup

That puppy is hard to get rid of. Deleting it fails because it comes back with "Open in another application." Take Ownership seems to go on forever trying to get control of things in the BaseImages directory, but can't because they are all write protected. Changing permissions fails with "The permissions on BaseImages are incorrectly ordered...."

So it looks like MS really doesn't want that stuff to go away. I reckon the only way to get it gone is to use Safe Mode or something like that. I might try that sometime but my boot drive has lots of free space so I'm not too motivated to take it out.

Didn't you read my post? That is a tested and safe way to delete it. You must also delete the registry items I listed in that post.

Whatever you do, do NOT try to delete it within normal windows, my first attempt ended in disaster....

...you need to take ownership first. Even then there are some files in BaseImages that cannot be deleted because they are in use. But after deleting as much as was allowed my Start menu stopped working in all user accounts, either by clicking on it or by pressing WinKey.

What is this large folder? - post #37

To unmount, right-click on the mounted drive in 'This PC'....

When I mount an image, I do not have the option to unmount it in the File Explorer, I have to launch Macrium and detach the drive from within Macrium.
