Hi there
I am running windows 8 on a packard bell 64 bit pc which is less than a week old.
A folder has appeared in my default pictures folder today (default pictures folder is otherwise empty).
The unwanted folder is titled clear.molly (molly being a username that I have never entered on this computer but do use for other things such as my email display name - which I have accessed on this computer)
The folder contains another folder titled 'pinned' and this contains a folder titled '0'. The 0 folder is empty.
When attempting to delete I am told "Folder access denied. you need permission to perform this action. You require permission from (my computer name/admin account name) to make changes to this folder." This is despite being logged in to my admin account.
This is extremeley annoying and makes me think this is a rouge file even thought he folder contents appear empty. How did this get here? And why can't I delete it even as admin? I did not want any personally identifiable information on this computer but now I do thanks to this folder which won't delete.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated so I can avoid a reboot.
Thanks in advance.
