I have root on my phone and all but just don't know how to delete this folder. It's in my internal storage, not sd card. It contains few gigs of screen recordings that I'm done with and don't need. I can't even delete it with built in storage cleaner! Can't change the folder name or anything too fyi.

Are you trying to delete it through Windows with your phone plugged in or are you trying to delete it on the phone?

 

If you're deleting it though Windows, make sure your phone is unlocked and you can see the "Internal Storage" drive in the removable device. (SD card storage would likely show up as "Removable Storage")

If you're deleting it through your phone, try plugging your phone into your computer and delete it with Windows.

 

I won't insult your intelligence by telling you to try turning it off and on again, but if you haven't tried that I'd definitely give it a go.

Yeah this problem is with me for a long time, I turned my phone on and off many times throughout that time. I haven't tried deleting it trough Windows but I doubt it's gonna work because if the apps on the phone have trouble deleting that file idk how will Windows manage it, but maybe it works I'll try.
