Unable to access the undeletable system file.
Hello! I noticed you moved your OneDrive data after leaving a company, but the previous folder remains in File Explorer. Could you let me know how to remove it?
Yes, running Explorer as administrator can work if you have the necessary permissions and the system is configured correctly.
I attempted to go to the folder's location and remove it, but I didn't take any further action.
onedrive permissions are a mess. I've had to switch to a system account to clear corrupt or outdated Onedrive folders. The easiest method I know is booting into a Linux live environment and wiping the drive there. Even moving the hard drive into another Windows box isn't always enough because the access rights in Onedrive folders are complicated, and Linux doesn't recognize NTFS filesystems properly.
