I tried changing the properties, and I swear I was able to delete that folder, but there it is again, taking up 10% of my main drive! Thank you again, even if this doesn't work, I have another computer I am working on with the same chipset (not that *that* matters in this case) and I can use that to delete the damned folder.

I don't have UEFI, so I am hoping this will work so I can delete that pesky Windows.old file taking up precious real-estate on my (new, old one died) boot SSD. Thank you, by the way! For some reason, I tried using Windows ISOs burned onto USBs using Rufus and even burning DVDs, but they would not give me the prompt nor even show up properly in the BIOS. Linux Mint 18 is out now, not that it matters too much, but I thought I would remind you of this article in case you wanted to edit it.
