Processing and Analysis of files that cannot be deleted

There are three main reasons for this: first, the file is being used by the system, second, the file name contains characters that cannot be recognized by the system, and third, insufficient user permissions. We will mainly study the first two cases. We will make a summary below to help you solve this problem.

In addition, if you have installed an FTP server on your computer, we can also try to log on to the local machine from FTP and delete the files to be deleted.

4. Use professional deletion software. The well-known PC Tools software can delete almost all "stubborn" software. After running the software, press any key to enter the main interface of the software, press F10, switch to select the file to be deleted, press d, and confirm the operation to delete the file.
