$Windows.~BT New OS directory - Can't delete
My win 10, WinSider PC, seems to have downloaded Win 11 in the Windows.~BT folder. It takes about 15GB of space. I want it gone. My system hardware (currently) can't use win11, which I think this is. I have tried all the usual methods to remove/delete. None can do it. the directory is protected somehow. I am unable to take control of the directory. I have tried several scripts I found online, and none work. WIn10 disk clean up does not see it. I have added a user to the directory properties as Full User and I still get errors trying to delete it.
I am a nocie CMD level user. I can copy and paste into a CMD adin window, and click a lot elsewhere. No programmer am I. (I know 8-bit BASIC very well)
All the things I googled and tried may have made things worse. But my redundantry dos skills do not think I did too much damage.
I have read and followed many links online to delete this directory. None have been helpful .
Please send some help. Link, pages, Ideas?
Thanks in advance!
