did you manage to delete it ? @ocmich74

ocmich74 commented 2 years ago

Nope, still there! I was not able to figure out how to remove it. Nothing I read worked.

I was able recreate the problem and find a solution to remove the folder...

Try something like the following in Windows PowerShell:


rm -Recurse -Force "\\?\C:\Users\IEUser\tradingview-alerts-home\'."

The offending code has been identified.

The latest home creation tool is much more robust and will install the latest ATAT tool when re-initializing

Yep ... this is a joke. Re-started my computer (Windows 10) in safe mode ... no ability to delete the folder.

Started in COMMAND PROMPT MODE ... still not able to delete the damn direction ...

WTF! I have three of these directories on my hard drive now ... and I can't even delete them from the command prompt, before windows even loads. Just for the record ... the instructions as also BS. Missing module. You should check your installation routine. It is broken.

i found a solution which has worked and folders are deleted

Thanks Michael and please allow me to apologize for being rude in my comment (which I have since deleted).

I was incredibly frustrated - but you have resolved the issue. Genius programmer. Thanks man ... I appreciate your hard work.

all is forgiven (apologies are rare these days!) - I get how it could be frustrating - I'd be annoyed too
