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.

Yeah … me neither, I guess. I know how to do that on Linux easily enough (doesn’t even need a proper script, just a root cron job), but not sure how on Windows.
Why not just write a script that re-deletes it every 5 minutes?

Use task scheduler and click the run as administrator option. Also make sure you have the option set to run hidden, or run whether logged in or not.
Thank you! I will give this a try.
