    Error 0x80070780 - The file cannot be accessed by the system. How can I delete this folder?


    I tried installing the game "A Plague Tale: Innocence - Windows 10". It had some issues installing so I started digging into it and went to the c:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder to try
    to delete the game folder myself. This is where I found the issue. Now trying to uninstall the game and reinstall it results in an error 0x80070780.

    When I try to delete the folder named C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\FocusHomeInteractiveSA.APlagueTaleInnocence-Window_1.0.5.0_x64__4hny5m903y3g0 I
    get the error...

    The file cannot be accessed by the system.

    I tried to fix the issue by doing the following things with no joy. Nothing seems to be able to get rid of the folder! So from what I can tell there are no issues on the drive or with the system, I have full access to the folder and simply can't do anything
    with it! Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to delete the folder?

    1. I tried to delete it from Windows Explorer:


    Error 0x80070780 - The file cannot be accessed by the system. How can I delete this folder? [​IMG]


    2. I tried to delete it from a command prompt:


    Error 0x80070780 - The file cannot be accessed by the system. How can I delete this folder? [​IMG]


    3. I tried to delete the folder in safe mode:


    Error 0x80070780 - The file cannot be accessed by the system. How can I delete this folder? [​IMG]


    4. I ran `SFC`:

    5. I ran `DISM`:

    6. I ran `chkdsk`:

    7. I ran EaseUS Partition Manager looking for issues:

    (RED blocks are bad sectors)

    Error 0x80070780 - The file cannot be accessed by the system. How can I delete this folder? [​IMG]


    8. I also tried to use `WSReset.exe`:

    This did not yield any new results. The folder could still not be deleted.

    As of right now, no known solutions have been able to help me delete the bad folder in the WindowsApps folder.

    :)

    Xbox Game Pass for PC Outer Worlds Save Data Location

    UPDATE: In C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Packages I found an empty folder for the game. But in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps I found a folder that cannot be accessed by the system. Trying to open in brings up

    this.

    When trying to delete the folder I get error code 0x80070780.

    Can't change install folder for xbox app (beta)

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have already tried to take ownership of the file to delete it. But when I try to delete it I get this message

    "An unexpected error is keeping you from deleting the folder. if you continue to receive this error... Error 0x80070780: the file cannot be accessed by the system."

    So then I click on try again and I get Folder access denied

    So I give admin permission clicking on the little shield icon, and I get the first message again...

    What is the problem?

    Cannot Delete Anything from Xbox Game Pass. Game Data Appears Stuck in WinApps

    Thanks for the help but still not working. I got the same result as when I took similar steps a couple days ago (I think I gave the admin account ownership but can't remember...been at this for four or five days now).

    When trying to delete one of the files, I get an initial error message "Error 0x80070780: The file cannot be accessed by the system," with a try again option. When I click "try again" I get a different error message of "You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from Everyone to make changes to this folder."

    Xbox app crashes on launch Error 2147942405

    Hi

    Thanks for the help.

    I've uninstalled and re-installed several times, but the problem remains, unfortunately. When I locate the app manual and try and run it as administrator - I get this message 'Error 0x80070780: The File Cannot Be Accessed by the System'.

    I've tried several fixes for this such as running sfc /scannow - but no joy.

    Any ideas?

    Best,
