The error would be "This action can't be completed because the file is open in another program" or something like that. However, there will still be instances of files running, which can't be deleted. Then, you can now delete everything inside without those pesky "access is denied" errors. Ĭlick OK to exit the advanced security options. Just hit Yes or OK to any dialogue boxes if prompted. Type in "Everyone" at the "Enter object name to select" tab, and click OK.
Navigate to Security tab (if you can't find it, please refer to the section below) So, after analyzing all the errors, I devised a method (maybe some of you already know what I'm about to do, but I'm just saying what worked for me) to delete this shit of a folder. I kept getting "Access is denied" errors after typing this inside the cmd, and frankly, its just super goddamn annoying. Icacls C:\$Windows.~BT\*.* /T /grant administrators:F Even using the legendary CMD did not work. The $WINDOWS.~BT folder requires extensive permissions, so you can't just simply delete them manually. The most common way is to use the disk cleanup tool, and clean up system files, but what if it doesn't work? Well, that's what happened in my case. After doing research online, I found out that it was just a file that contained previous windows updates, so I can remove it with no side effects (actually there are, but more on that later). Now, to give context, $WINDOWS.~BT was taking up around 25 GB of space on my computer, and I did not know what it was. In this post, I will be teaching you how to remove the $WINDOWS.~BT folder, by a method I devised myself.
