remove a root directory created by DISM: need trusted installer permission

Question

I was using DISM to create a wim file:

C:\Windows\System32>dism /Mount-wim /wimfile:c:\install.wim /index:2 /Mountdir:c:\temp /readonly

I first added a temp folder (none was present on drive c)

I cant use it because it requires TOI permission; and now I cant delete the temp folder or any files inside it.

Disk clean up did not remove them.

Try running this command in an Administrator Command Prompt window to un-mount the image, then restart your PC to apply the change.

Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:C:\Temp /discard
