Deleting folders with "broken" junctions inside
Posted: 2022-11-30, 08:40 UTC
It fails to delete/move folders with junctions, routing to nowhere. As for example:
1. There are Folder1, Folder2
2. I create junction link for Folder1 and place it into Folder2.
3. Then I delete or rename Folder1. Try to delete Folder2, containing "broken" link for Folder1. It fails with message

There is no such a problem in explorer. I can delete folders like that successfully.
TC v.10.52x64 Windows 8.1x64. User Account Control (UAC) is disabled.
Junctions are created with help of NTLinksMaker or Link Shell Extension
