I don't know if this is the best place to ask but...

I've had a problem were I open Discord and it stays on a grey screen, stuck there. I tried uninstalling the folder in AppData but everytime I try, a window pops up and says I can't delete the folder because it's damaged (Error: 0x80070570). I've tried like 10 times and it keeps saying the same. I have also temporarily desactived Windows Defender as apparently it helps with the error, but still it doesn't work. 

I used to do the same thing when this happened, and I re-installed Discord and no problems, but now I can't fix it.

Please help, I use Discord daily and I need to solve this thing.

    Hello Comrade, welcome to the Microsoft community, my name is Luiz Cruz, an independent consultant and I would be happy to help you.

    I understand that you want to uninstall Discord from your computer, please follow the steps below:

    1. Check that Discord is not running in the background. If it is open, an error may occur in the uninstallation process.

    If you see his icon in the taskbar at the bottom right of the screen, right-click on it and select Close Discord.

    2.Open the "Start" menu. To do this, click on the "Start" button, which is in the lower left corner of the "" Desktop ".

    1. Type and look for Applications and features in the "Start" menu. It will then appear next to a gear icon at the top of the menu.

    In older versions of Windows, you may need to look for Add or Remove Programs instead of Applications and Features.

    4.Click on Applications and Features in the "Start" menu. Then, the "Settings" window will open.

    5.Click the Search in this list field below the "Applications and features" heading in the "Settings" window. Then, you can type and search for a program on your computer.

    1. Type Discord in the search field. It will then appear in the results list.
    2. Click on the Discord application in the search results. It will then be highlighted and some options will be displayed.

    8.Click the Uninstall button. Then Discord will be removed from the computer.

    You will need to confirm this action in a pop-up window.

    Click Uninstall in the confirmation pop-up window. Your action will then be confirmed by removing Discord from your computer.

    If prompted again, click Yes to continue with the uninstall.
