Windows 10: deleting a disc file

Hey i have this problem where i downloaded a app that had a disc image file. I mounted one and I didn't like the program so I tried to delete it, I tried deleting the disc image file but it said it was open in the system. I checked my task manager and there was nothing that seemed it was from the app. I did delete the app but the disc image file was still there, I tried force deleting the Disc image file with cmd but didn't work. Then i saw a post of a person asking the same problem and one staff told him to go to device manager and delete the virtual dvd drive. I thought it is because of that
