Each time that I that I press the play button on the Minecraft Launcher the launcher exits, and then instead of going to the actual game, the launcher reappears instead with the play button. To fix this problem I tried uninstalling minecraft by deleting the .minecraft folder, but it wouldn't let me delete the folder for some reason.
The error when I try to delete the folder says, "An unexpected error is preventing the operation. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you get additional help to resolve this problem:
Error 0x80070091: The directory is not empty.
I tried to delete everything inside the folder as well, but it allows me to delete everything but the mob Iron Golems under the assets folder. When I try to look in the folder, it says the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. It also says the folder is empty.
Here is the error code I found under the development console in the launcher after hitting play.
It seems like every time it got to something that had to do with sound and iron golem an error popped up.
Underneath this code I included another error I got as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If more information is needed I would be willing to try my best to present it to you. Thank you!
I'm having the same problem. I managed to delete my .minecraft folder, but redownloading it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
edit: I updated my graphics card drivers and restarted my computer, and now it works fine. Try at least rebooting, once you can get everything redownloaded.
