    Can't delete a file.


    Hello. I discovered a file in Program Files x86 named Wonderfulcydoma.exe. I have never seen it before and I know I didn't add it. When I try and delete this file I get the message "This action cannot be completed because the file or folder is open in another location." I can't even find the file when I search with my browser. I am running Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Optiplex 780. I will mention that I have tried everything suggested: looked for the file in task manager, tried superdelete in Superantispyware and tried to disable in Register.


    Have you heard of this program and can you help me delete it?


    Thank you.

    :)

    deleting hard drive files

    Hi,

    May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
    perform the task:

    • Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
    • Choose the files to delete
    • Click on "Clean up system files"
    • Click on Ok

    For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Regards.
