How To Delete A Folder That Won't Delete In Windows 11 - Item Not Found Could not find this item This is no longer located in [Folder Location]. Verify the item's location and try again.

In this video, I will show you how to delete a folder on your Windows 11 PC that refuses to delete through the normal conventional way. This method to delete an undeletable folder, requires a program called WinRAR which is a powerful archiver and extractor tool. Using this archiving tool, I will show you a workaround solution to force the deletion of your folder which cannot be deleted.

Steps To Delete A Folder That Won't Delete In Windows 11:
1. First, install WinRAR by watching this video of mine titled "How to use WinRAR on Windows 10 PC - How to Extract or Unzip RAR and ZIP files" https://youtu.be/bnM-WhO-ZPk
2. Once you have installed WinRAR, right click on the undeletable folder
3. Click Show more options
4. Click Add to achieve...
5. WinRAR will then open a window called "Archive name and parameters" in the "General" tab. Under "Archiving options" checkmark the box for "Delete files after archiving"
6. Once done, click "OK"
7. WinRAR will now compress and archive the folder which cannot be deleted through normal methods. Once the folder has been archived under the same name as the folder which won't delete in a .RAR format, the original undeletable folder will then be automatically deleted upon completion of the archiving.
8. Finally, delete the new archived .RAR file to complete the deletion by right clicking on it and then clicking on the "Delete" bin icon.

Congratulations, you have successfully deleted a folder that won't delete through conventional methods in Windows 11.
