Error 0x80501001 in

Hi I wanted to know what the error 0x80501001 is and why is it when I go to
remove something that Windows defender detects that I get this message with
the following error. I then rescan (did that at least 3 times) like it
suggested and yet it doesn't get rid of the file. Would quarentine be a
better option that remove all? Please help!

0x80501001 is an internal error code that just means the action failed. It
could fail for a number of reasons, including the threat being inside an
archive, the file being held open by something, or other reasons. Quarantine
may not work either.

Sure this is what I did: Clear the checkbox for "Scan inside archives" in
the General Settings section under the Tools menu. This helped out a lot.
