I use Window10 and I have changed some permission of a drive for a user. It has created a folder with '....' name after these changes in my drive and I can't rename and delete it.

  1. What is the folder and why created?
  2. How can I rename or delete it?

    @SaeidMo7 Please have a look at [What topics can I ask about here](https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic) 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.

  1. Open the app and configure it.
  2. After configuring, terminate it and search for Ubuntu in apps.
  3. Open app. It will open cmd like interface. Type sudo su and type password which you set while configuring the app
  4. 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.

    @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
