How to fix the problem: Folder cannot be deleted, Could not find this item
Sometimes Windows throws a strange error message when you try to delete a file. The message says "cannot find this item" and prevents you from deleting the file. It's pretty obvious that you're trying to delete something that's already on your machine, but the error message says otherwise.
There are many reasons why your machine is not detecting the file as it should and not letting you remove it. Once you have fixed these underlying issues, you can remove the file from your computer.
If you are having trouble deleting your file using File Explorer, one option is to use the Command Prompt. It has several commands to work with your file system, and one of them lets you delete files from your storage.
