Same question here.... unfortunately when I boot into Windows and click on the Remix Folder I get "Remix OS is not accessible. Directory is corrupted and unreadible".

I tried installing the OS again using the tools provided but with no luck. Grateful for any help!

FYI, I managed to boot my pc into safe mode and it allowed me to delete the Remix OS folder. It's still showing as an option at boot but I'm sure I'll be able to get rid of that with a bit of research.

1 - Run Command Prompt as an Admin.
2- Type bcdedit and press Enter.
3- Look for the section that has Remix OS listed (most likely under Real-mode Boot Sector).
4- Copy the Identifier for the Remix OS listing including the brackets.
5- Type bcdedit /delete, paste the Identifier and press Enter.
6- If you want, type bcdedit again to confirm that it's gone.
7- Reboot your PC.

I hope this helps. Enjoy!

In the command prompt, there was not the remixos written up. But if i start the computer, there are 2 choices: Windows 10 or Remix os. Please help me. (Sorry for my bad English.)

Look inside the RemixOS folder (on the drive where you installed it)
There is a filed called....guess what...."UninstallRemixOS.exe"
Play around with that....
I didnt know it has this, well I formatted my thumbdrive, which obviously deleted that also, how do I get my 16GB usb back it just says its 4gb right now.

I had a similar problem when I installed on my hard drive and it got corrupted somehow. I had to boot into safe mode, navigate to the Remix OS feet and manually delete. So if you can see he folder on your thumb drive, that might work.

Same problem here, I just wanted to reinstall Remix OS to have a larger storage, I tried everything but I don't know why this error ("H:/RemixOS/Uninstallremixos.exe cannot find the drive specified") keeps displaying.
Help please ! :eek:

Download something called "USB Disk Storage Format Tool", run as administrator, specify name, file system etc. and click Format. It will detect maximum storage of your thumbdrive and format it to (in your case) 16GB.
