While attempting to install Win 11 and Ubuntu as a DualBoot, I noticed I have a file named "Linux" with a subfolder named "Ubuntu." See attachment. Presumably, this is from the incomplete Ubuntu install. I'm ready to attempt another install of Ubuntu, so I want to remove anything left from the original install attempts.
Right Clicking on the folder produces a menu with no "delete" option; properties "not available"; and that's about it for options. Some off the files can be deleted by pressing the Delete key, but most report that I need Admin Privileges and refuses to delete. The files do not appear in SafeMode. I tried a COMMAND PROMPT w admin privileges but unsurprisingly, the files are not visible.
I've never had any luck with the "Privileges" in Windows. I think I have the max set, but I am still denied performing certain operations ...
Any help is of course GREATLY appreciated.
