Hi, welcome to the forum! I’m new here and facing a tricky issue with my PC setup. I just installed Windows on a new SSD and also kept my old HDDs for data recovery and cleanup. To free up space, I used Unlocker to remove files from Program Data, but now two folders—“System Data” and “Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection”—are stuck in the recycle bin. They’re empty, but when I try to restore or delete them, the system says I need permission. I’m trying to get rid of these without formatting or reinstalling Windows, since it’s a clean install. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I discovered a method to eliminate them. Ccleaner helped with it.
