4@SaeidMo7 Please have a look at What topics can I ask about here in the Help section. Questions about windows is off topic on AU. Superuser.com would be a better fit. – vidarlo May 06 '18 at 15:39

You can delete folder using below methods:
Linux Method
Since you have Windows 10 there's an app in Microsoft Store called as Ubuntu. That's actually terminal of Ubuntu that let you run Linux commands.
- Open the app and configure it.
- After configuring, terminate it and search for Ubuntu in apps.
- Open app. It will open cmd like interface. Type
sudo suand type password which you set while configuring the app - Navigate to the folder destination and use
rm -r "Folder_Name". For more info how to navigate in Ubuntu Terminal, see screenshot below.
Since I use both Linux and Window, I'll suggest you to use Ubuntu method. Its a powerful method.

1@AmanMittal we do not provide windows answers so I remove a little bit of your answer. The part about Linux is interesting though even though the correct way to act was to close vote it as off topic, not about Ubuntu. – Rinzwind May 06 '18 at 16:23
