After reboot, do a "robocopy" of ProgramData\Docker to somewhere else. In other words, wave magic wand.
Robocopy is useful for deleting "difficult" directory structures. These include any with paths longer than 260 characters, since neither Windows Explorer nor the command prompt support the NTFS "long" path name construct (prefix names with \\?\ and you get up to 32,767 characters in a path).
C:\> md C:\Tmp
C:\> robocopy C:\Tmp C:\funky_ass_folder_I_cant_get_rid_of /MIR
C:\> rd C:\funky_ass_folder_I_cant_get_rid_of
C:\> rd C:\Tmp
The /MIR option tells robocopy to 'mirror' the source folder to the destination, which deletes any files and folders which don't exist in the source. In this case it empties the destination folder. The magic part is that robocopy does support and use internally NTFS long path names.
