Unable to Delete Folder and Could not find this item
Sometime you had this same problem using Server 2012 Std or Server 2012 R2 . Iyou tried various options of taking ownership of the parent folder because the Security properties of the folder. you tried trying to delete were blank, using CMD and Dir /x etc. you even tried sharing the parent folder and then delete it. None of them worked. When you tried Dir /x Server 2012 or 2012 R2 doesn't show the 8 character filename with the ~1. you tried typing it in yourself, but that didn't work either. you then found that there was a space at the end of the folder name. you then tried all the CMD options again using a space, still no luck. This solution should help you out: Open CMD and then type: rd /s "\\?\D:\bad\folder\path " example: rd /s "\\?\D:\Sharedata\folder1\folder2 " - note the space after folder2 as per the space in the folder name. Obviously D: is the drive that has the folder on it. This worked for me
