I am running Windows 10 with all the latest updates installed. I was having issues with Visual Studio 2017. So I uninstalled and now wish to reinstall it.

The installer complained that I needed to have

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise

Empty before proceeding with the new installation. So I went to delete whatever was in that folder, but I get the following:

error

I googled and people are saying I should run chkdsk command, but as far as I know, that's really bad for an SSD? My whole drive is SSD and I don't want to mess that up in any way.

Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated.

Run chkdsk. From an elevated cmd prompt, type chkdsk /f c:. It will probably ask you to reboot.

I have no idea what you might possibly mean by that being "bad" for an SSD or why you might think that. But if you have a possibly corrupt filesystem (and you do), you need to repair it. It's really that simple.
