I think you're looking for the "deltree" command. http://ss64.com/nt/deltree.html

Beyond that, boot another OS like Ubuntu from a live USB drive and you can delete anything you want.  You can also add things like Colons (:) into filenames which really causes problems since NTFS technically supports it but it gives Windows a brain aneurysm trying to comprehend it.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Thanks, guys!

 

It actually was linux mint ISO, kept on on a different drive (non system drive), but some how it became a system file
