After some research, I determined that Microsoft Indexing Service was attempting
to Index the Internet Information Services (IIS) catalog, even though I had long
ago removed IIS from my computer. So I deleted the Web Catalog, which pointed
to the C:\:Inetpub folder. However, I had to temporarily stop the Indexing Service
in order to be able to delete this Web Catalog, after which I restarted Indexing
Service.
My guess is that when I removed IIS from my computer, it could not delete this
Web Catalog (if it even tried) because the Indexing Service was running. I do not
know if the process for removing IIS is supposed to be "smart" enough to check
whether IIS has any interaction with Indexing Service, and if so, take some action
to also remove it from Indexing Service.
