1. Open an elevated command prompt.

2. In the elevated command prompt, copy and paste the commands below, and press Enter after each one. (see screenshot below)

   Note

If you had another say windows.old.(1) folder that you also wanted to delete, then you could repeat these commands substituting that name instead of windows.old to also delete it.

attrib -r -a -s -h C:\Windows.old /S /D

RD /S /Q %SystemDrive%\windows.old
