+Here you go:
+    rd   /s  /q  "\\?\D:\Woodlawn Data\Folder 9 "
+Please remember to mark my reply by clicking "Did this solve your problem?". It's your way of saying "Thank you".
+You have to dig much deeper than "rd /?" to find out what my syntax did. In essense \\?\ bypasses the Windows parsing process, thus allowing file/folder names that are basically illegal. Using the same syntax you could create a folder called "LPT1" or "ABC..." neither of which is allowed with the normal syntax.

+While the Lock screen provides useful information and beautiful pictures, you probably noticed that your computer's display turns off after 60 seconds when you lock your Windows 10 account. This happens even if you change the power options to never turn off the monitor or never put the computer to sleep.
