Ghost Folder
Hello everyone.
Am happy with Windows 10 but i have a weird problem. I want to delete a folder but Windows can't find that folder... I explained that problem in a graphic and attached to this post.
Thank you.

Windows has two different Desktop folders, one for each user showing shortcuts and files on that specific user's desktop, and a Public Desktop folder for content shared by all users. In your case that folder is most probably stored in Public Desktop, that's why you cannot see it when checking your personal Desktop:
The dir command shows that the folder is under your user profile. It is not a hidden file or a directory junction.
The only thing I see is that the rmdir command shows a space at the end.
Try this in Command Prompt
cd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
dir /a /s > %temp%\oddFolder.txt
cd "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Creativity Free Bundle"
dir /a /s >> %temp%\oddFolder.txt
cd %TEMP%
dir oddFolder.txt
Please post the oddFolder.txt located in your Temp folder
Hello Bart. Thank you for the reply. I uploaded txt file: Click here to see.
I tried the second commandbut cmd says again "System can't find...".Code:cd "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Creativity Free Bundle"
Greetings.
it really is a ghost
but it's an empty folder
Directory of C:\Users\...\Desktop\Creativity Free Bundle
24.03.2016 11:34 <DIR> .
24.03.2016 11:34 <DIR> ..
0 File(s) 0 bytes
See what this returns:
Command Prompt (Admin)
cd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
dir /a /s Creativity*
cd Creativity*
dir /a /s
Anything?
