I created a project through npx create-react-app . and started to modify and work, then I tried to delete it to create it again, because it was highlighting that some modules had syntax errors. I deleted all possible folders completely, but when I try to delete node_modules I get an error that the:
Visual Studio Code:
Failed to complete the deletion to the recycle bin. Do you want to perform a permanent deletion?
This action is irreversible.
**Delete permanently**
and if I delete it permanently I get the error:
Visual Studio Code:
Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, scandir
'd:\Desktop\proj-name\node_modules\.core-js-`code(I don't know if it's secret)`\features'
If I go to this path, it is an empty folder.
I've tried deleting via VSC, via moving a folder to the recycle bin, via npm init -y downloading one module and deleting again, via deleting specific folders, or at the end of a directory, and nothing has worked.
PS also file creation does not work in these folders
I also assume it's webpack related, because it contains many folders named webpack.
all good, after a couple of days and a couple of restarts, the boot screen showed "repair"/"processing" of the D:// drive, and when the PC was fully up and running, just moving the folder to the recycle bin got it deleted. 😀👍
