Can't delete files

[Brandon_Byrnes]

I have a couple of folders that i downloaded from MEGA. When i try and delete the folders it will delete the content of the folders and anything in the subfolders but it will not delete the actual folders and subfolders. When I try to delete them i get a message saying “Item Not Found” Could not find this item. This is no longer located in (filepath). I have tried to force delete them in command prompt. I have tried Heidi Eraser to delete them but that doesn’t work either. I thought maybe the folders where being used by MEGASync but I totally exited out of MEGASync and it still won’t delete.

The only way I have found to delete them is to move everything off the drive except for those and then format the drive. Also another weird thing is it will not allow me to change the folder name, even if I copy the folder to another drive the folder that is the copy won’t allow me to change the name of it and it won’t allow me to delete it. I’ve tried using File Locksmith thinking maybe the folders were locked but it comes up with no results. I thought maybe it was some kind of malware but I scanned my system with Malwarebytes and Windows Defender and it doesn’t show any threats. At this point I’m at a loss.

you sir are a genius. That worked. I guess you can mark this solved. It’s weird because I tried Unlocker before and it didn’t work, but then again I didn’t have a guide to follow on how exactly to install it. Anyway thanks a ton.
