Can't Delete Original Steam Game/App Files After Moving Them

[Polarise]

Hello, so I moved games from my 256SSD to my 2TB SSD. I did use the built in Steam options to move the files. Since they moved successful, I checked the original files and it is still there. I tried deleting the files but it doesn't let me. How do I delete them?

Try a file deleter like Malwarebytes FileAssassin.

noticed this while doing something else..
it's the dumb windows 10 bullshit...
it has some bullshit protection in the program files folders, i tried to replace some files in a game and even being an admin and trying to use "take ownership" it still doesn't let me replace\delete files inside steam.. it's a big mess

if you have a linux dual boot or live cd, that would be the easiest bet... boot into linux and delete them in there...
