well if you want to delete it and prevent it from being auto recreated,

Code: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\

New > DWORD

Code: 
UseDesktopIniCache

Value =
Code: 
0

then delete it and restart explorer
Click to expand...
That hasn't worked in W10 or later.
