There is a known issue on Windows re deleting the geographical dataset folder. Can you please see if https://github.com/GIS4WRF/gis4wrf/issues/104#issuecomment-443720429 this solves it?

I am not sure if I am doing this correct. I open the cmd and type in this based on comment 104:

comment : rd /q /s \?\Z:\test\user1\gis4wrf\datasets\geog\con

What I typed: rd /q /s\?\C:\remym\Documents\gis4wrf

And it does nothing.

If I type like this:

rd /q /s\?\C:\remym\Documents\gis4wrf it says access denied

Thx!

you need elevated privileges (i.e. run as admin)

[letmaik]

The correct command is rd /q /s \\?\C:\remym\Documents\gis4wrf. Admin privileges should not be necessary.
