Hello zachisback_real.
Please check the following

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance-winpc/cwindowssystem32msvcp120dll-is-either-not-designed/0f267991-b216-426f-a68e-8fc9d59384e6

so it pretty much points to a windows error. so you can either do this

uninstall any existing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010

As the issue still persists, I suggest you to download the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2015 and check if it helps.

So my solution (I just had a massive update that obviously replaced the MSV120.DLL) was thus:

Remove all Visual Studio versions (I had a lot - like 12)

restart

install the 2013 version

restart

see, google :)

hope it helps.

this does not work as windows simply does not allow me to delete the folder.
