Problem deleting folder from desktop!

Guys, I've been having problem deleting a folder from my desktop. It seems as if it's corrupted because although it is empty, it is still showing showing me that files are in it when I open the folder like this:




But going to properties by right clicking on the folder from the desktop, shows me this:




Dragging it into my recycling bin does nothing, but right click and deleting the folder shows this:



after doing some reading online, some suggest I change some settings in the security tab in properties but I can't cause this is all I see in security tab:




Can anybody help me? This folder is highly annoying and want it removed from my computer. I've downloaded this folder from mastahpiece.net btw. I am running Windows 10.

 

It's likely that the folder name has some hidden characters.

Do this, open command prompt and type CD Desktop then type dir /x and lets see the real name of the folder. Take SS of what you see.

When you figure out the real name, you can use rmdir to remove it from elevated command prompt.

Sometimes file paths are too long and windows cannot handle that. The command dir /x should give you the folder short name, it is usually suffixed with ~1

With elevated command prompt you can do rmdir /s /q "full_path/folder_short_name"

 

If above doesn't work and you're familiar with linux download a live cd and remove it from there.

 

got the problem fixed guys. thanks a lot!
