When you use Disk Cleanup or manually attempt to clear the %temp% folder of your user profile, the “NLTmpMnt” subfolder in your Temp folder can’t be deleted. You get the following error when deleting the folder:<\/p>\n

Folder Access Denied\n\nYou need permission to perform this action.\n\nYou require permission from [username] to make changes to this folder.<\/pre>\n
\"nltmpmnt<\/p>\n
Also, deleting the folder via Safe mode or using tools like Unlocker<\/a> may not help.<\/p>\n
Cause<\/h2>\n
The above error occurs because “NLTmpMnt” is a mounted folder. You may have used NTLite<\/strong> (www.ntlite.com) earlier to mount an image but did not unload (or unmount) the image.<\/p>\n
Resolution<\/h2>\n
The correct way to delete the “NLTmpMnt” folder is to unmount it. Please use one of the methods below to delete the folder:<\/p>\n
Method 1: Using DISM<\/h3>\n
Please open an admin Command Prompt and run this command:<\/p>\n
Dism \/Unmount-image \/MountDir:\"%Temp%\\NLTmpMnt\" \/discard<\/pre>\n
Press Enter.<\/p>\n
\n
Method 2: Using NTLite<\/h3>\n
Launch NTLite and see if there are any mounted images.<\/p>\n
Right-click on the mounted image under the “Mounted” section and click Unload<\/strong>. Click OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Do this for each mounted image listed on that screen.<\/p>\n
\"nltmpmnt<\/p>\n
Note: NTLite records the results of the last mount\/unmount operation in the %temp%\\NTLite.log<\/strong> file.<\/em><\/p>\n
That’s it. One of the above two methods should completely delete the “NLTmpMnt” folder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
