I've encounter this issue multiple times, figured it out multiple times and then forgotten my solution ... multiple times. The issue for me turned out to be that the folder/files could not be deleted because they had the "compress ..." attributes enabled. Check the folder/file by right-clicking it > Properties > Advanced (general tab) > uncheck "Compress contents to save disk space". After this, I was able to use the Duplicate File Finder deletion without issue.
Hopefully this helps someone, especially Piriform, to understand the issue.

Hi All,
I've encounter this issue multiple times, figured it out multiple times and then forgotten my solution ... multiple times. The issue for me turned out to be that the folder/files could not be deleted because they had the "compress ..." attributes enabled. Check the folder/file by right-clicking it > Properties > Advanced (general tab) > uncheck "Compress contents to save disk space". After this, I was able to use the Duplicate File Finder deletion without issue.
Hopefully this helps someone, especially Piriform, to understand the issue.
Good luck!
