McAfee Vaults removal

I recently had to remove McAfee from my Win 10 PC because of an issue with mcshield.exe.  After using MCPR to remove McAfee, it still shows McAfee Vaults under My Documents in Windows Explorer.

I am unable to delete this folder, It gives me an error box with the title "Folder Access Denied" and the message is "You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder".

This is being done by the Administrator account so i do not know what i am doing wrong.

Thanks,

Tommy

Re: McAfee Vaults removal

Try running the MCPR cleanup tool to see if that removes it, otherwise you would need to contact Technical Support, it's free by phone or online chat and linked below.
