Can you try remove the `C:\Julia_depot\registries\General` folder.

The cool way of doing this is now

```julia
pkg> registry rm General

pkg> registry add General

```

You don’t need to do anything, it has already been fixed.

It was a transient problem due to someone registering a package with a bad name. No one has needed to deal with it more than once on a given computer.
