Lots of files inside the Prefetch folder is not unusual.

Have you tried dragging it back to its original spot? Or highlighting it and choosing 'Edit-Undo move' if that's an available option?

What's the message you get when you try to delete it?

 

Possibily WinPrefetchView from Nirsoft can help you.

Maybe unlocker can help, though not sure.

 

When I've had similar problems, sometimes for some strange reason it'll let me cut and paste to the desktop then delete from there. Worth a shot.

 

i used KillBox.exe and did the job
but just a bit afraid it could be malware

 

thanks sadly it did not work to me

thanks Gerard , cool program but it was not able to delete it

thanks to all

 

CCleaner has an advanced option to clear out older and unused prefetch data.
