Hi what is this folder in c drive ?? anyone else have it

As long as you don't empty your Recycle Bin, they should be safe to delete. But I have a shortcut on my desktop to Restore Point, and I always make a Restore Point before I do anything I'm not sure of.

ok thanks for so many replies, also unable to access any folders what so ever ,

and also when i try to delete this is the result ,
see in picture thanks

Ok this is a permissions issue ....

as a user with administrator rights

for each folder in turn

right click and select properties then the Security tab
click on advanced then the ownership tab
use the tab to change the ownership to your user name and OK back to the security tab
on the permissions area add your username to the list and give yourself full control, OK out of properties

you should now be able to work with the folders :)

i thought i was admin anyway im lost , now ,
this is what i have done but still unable to delete

I understood, some time ago, that these files were installation references, and were (sometimes) used for uninstall purposes.
But, to the point, Have you (ekfsksk and the op) ever redirected any folders? They should normally reside in the hidden folder, C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\
But this is also a d**mn nuisance, as they appear to stay there for ever, although they do no harm. Ccleaner or Disk Cleanup leave them untouched. I run as the "Global" administrator, and, maybe because of this, have no difficulty deleteing them in my weekly maintenance. So far (several years) I have had no problems afterwards, with deleting or reinstalling programs on my OS.
fwiw. I think, if you click them, you will find they are empty.

1. Sometimes application/update installation leave garbage on 'temporary' directory/disk.
From the image, we can see it was 'protected'/secured directory.
2. Agree with Barman58 that better move them to some temporary directory in other drive
(and compressed if they were big enough) just for safely reason. Perform it as Admin
role/user. If in days/weeks there is no problem, later we can delete it.
3. If move/delete in normal mode could not performed, do it on Safe Mode.
4. In case none of the above idea work, try a third party tool called Unlocker.
Unlocker can be download from here (or googling first for sure):

Reboot when you are finished to be sure the annoying folders are really gone.

Hope this info useful.

Sorry, I mean move or copy those directory for safety reason.

@seavicen32 & @barman58, I was laughing read your comment regarding delete DOS and icons on Win3.1.
Really funny to hear that today (not at the time)..

donalbebek, it makes me smile still, but it was the boss's fault really. He just plonked these monitors and keyboards in front of us and told us to get on with it.

After my "housekeeping" exercise, IT trainers were brought in pronto!
