    Before accessing it, right click and choose log in as Administrator.

    Right click of folders in question, fails to show "Log in as Administrator". Files in question are Modifiable WindowaApps and WindowsApps. I am unaware as to where these folders came from, other than present on the internal hard drive D.

    BobbyScot, These Folders are part of the Windows System and cannot be DELETED!!!
    Why are you trying to remove them?

    RL Main reason is they appear on the D HD and this drive is an additional HD installed. Windows 10 is installed on the C HD, the two progams in question are not showing on C HD. Will just have to ignore them showing on the D HD..
    Further check shows, that clicking either of the folders, produces
    Folder Access Denied. You require permision from TrustdInstller to make changes to this folder.
    WindowsApps 1. Date created: 26/06/2019.
    [ Try Again ] [Cancel ]
    Clicking Try Again, shows a flashing green bar, other than repeat Try Again.

    If it's part of the OS why would you worry that its listed??
    An empty Folder won't affect your comp performance.
    My advice is just forget it.

    RL. Your advice taken, and just ignore it as it certainly does'nt affect computer working. Thanks for advice, appreciated.
