What happens if I delete everything in the symatec folder? in fact all of symantec from my system. it still wont delete by the way

There should be no problem with deleting the whole Symantec folder.

To get it to delete you may have to go into Safe Mode:

1. Restart your computer
2. After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, begin tapping F8.
3. Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4. Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
5. Press enter.

Then delete it. This should work.
