How to delete the $WINDOWS.~BT folder in Windows 10

 The $WINDOWS.~BT folder is typically a temporary folder associated with Windows upgrades or update installations. It is created during system upgrade or update operations and is usually deleted automatically after updates are completed. However, sometimes this folder may not be automatically deleted.

  1. Run Command Prompt as Administrator: You need to run Command Prompt with administrator privileges. Search for "cmd" in the Start menu, then right-click and select "Run as administrator."
  2. Take Ownership: To gain appropriate permissions for the $WINDOWS.~BT folder, use the takeown command. Execute the following command: takeown /F C:\$WINDOWS.~BT /R /D Y This command grants ownership of the C:$WINDOWS.~BT folder and all its subdirectories and files to the current user.
  3. Modify Permissions: Next, use the icacls command to assign appropriate permissions: icacls C:\$WINDOWS.~BT /T /Q /C /RESET This command resets the permissions for the folder and all its subdirectories and files.
  4. Delete the Folder: Now, delete the $WINDOWS.~BT folder again: RD /S /Q C:\$WINDOWS.~BT If you still encounter an access denied error with this command, it's possible that system security settings or another process may be accessing the folder. In this case, try again after rebooting the system.
