  Thank you! I will give this a try.

  I haven’t figured out how do make a script that can delete a directory that needs admin rights. Instead, I created a script that pings the directory once per minute and tosses up a notification if it exists. Then I just go and delete it. It’s good enough for me, since it only happens 2x-3x per week.

  Fun story from my win11 work machine. I’ve de-copiloted it to the best of my ability. Even so, ‘ai.exe’ was always running, consuming more RAM than I was comfortable with, and if I killed it, it would respawn.

  I found i can delete the folder it resides in with no ill effect. But a few times a week, a process would recreate it.

  System owned the parent folder but for some reason I was unable to revoke its write permissions. So instead, I created a junction so that anything written to the ai folder would instead write to a folder that I had sole ownership of.

  This worked, except it ended up causing kernel failures and bootloader issues. Big yikes.
