Tomorrow does not exist. It is always today.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Two dialogs, each with thousands of lines to keep track what rows in the database need to be inserted or deleted when you finally click the save button. He used the Entity Framework, so why could he not let that figure all that out? It probably would have been too easy.
Updating rows was not on the map, so this spaghetti bowl fell apart at every corner when we needed to do that. The cream on top of everything is a crying customer who wanted to have that stuff on his test server yesterday morning. He thinks he can't build expensive big vehicles without it.

So the Docker saga continues. Turns out Hyper-V totally ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ed my video drivers or something, so NetFlix and "streaming" became a contradiction in terms.
Disabled Hyper-V (a much less painful process than enabling it) and uninstalled Docker. Yet, WTF, there is still 20GB of docker crap left in the ProgramData folder.
And it can't be deleted -- the typical "Administrator access is required" but my user account is an administrator BS in Windows. Find a post on the Docker forum that basically says "yeah, deleting ProgramData\Docker is really hard, we could do a better job of it, you should use docker rmi before uninstalling Docker." Or something like that. Great, if there's a command I can run manually, why can't the uninstaller run it?
So more Googling, trying to take ownership of the file (fail) and I find this post that basically says:
- Boot into Safe mode. (Figuring out how to do that in W10 was yet another Google and 5 screens of restart options.)
- After reboot, do a "robocopy" of ProgramData\Docker to somewhere else. In other words, wave magic wand.
- After the robocopy finishes, you can remove the directory with
rd /S /Q (include subfolders, and don't prompt for every freaking folder.)
What do you know, that worked. I've now reclaimed the 20GB that Docker for Windows failed to install.

You should Google Sergei Strelec, he has a bootable ISO with 32 & 64 bit versions of Windows 8 & 10. Once booted from USB or DVD you can safely what you want on your HDD.
Note Sergei may be a bit dodgy and downloads with Chrome don't need the desktop software.

Yeah, but I didn't catch anything from the site and the bootable windows is a great replacement for Hiren's Boot CD that won't work on any near new hardware.

Don't they already do everything to drive us into the arms of Linux? They want only helpless and uncritical Muggles as users.

Sounds to me like a docker service is still running and has a handle on the file directory you are trying to delete. stop the service and you should be able to delete the files.
Just a thought. I could be wrong. This has happened to me with other products, and a background service that didn't get deleted when I uninstalled was the issue.
Edit: lol. I read the "entire" post this time, and it seems you fixed the issue.

Robocopy is useful for deleting "difficult" directory structures. These include any with paths longer than 260 characters, since neither Windows Explorer nor the command prompt support the NTFS "long" path name construct (prefix names with \\?\ and you get up to 32,767 characters in a path).
C:\> md C:\Tmp
C:\> robocopy C:\Tmp C:\funky_ass_folder_I_cant_get_rid_of /MIR
C:\> rd C:\funky_ass_folder_I_cant_get_rid_of
C:\> rd C:\Tmp The /MIR option tells robocopy to 'mirror' the source folder to the destination, which deletes any files and folders which don't exist in the source. In this case it empties the destination folder. The magic part is that robocopy does support and use internally NTFS long path names.

As the northern latitudes plunge ever further into darkness, the black dog draws near. Oh joy! It's S.A.D. time again!
For the last few years, I've been taking vitamin D supplements through the winter and find them a big help (I now just get mildly dispirited and somewhat grouchy whereas I used to be plunged into absolute despair) but I'm a tad more skeptical about some of the other remedies on offer.
Has anyone had any experience with light boxes, daylight alarm clocks and the like?
