    There is a file that I can not remove


    I was messing around on the batch files and stuff because I was board. I made one batch file that had every thing it it and when I saved it my anti-virus went off. When I look it said error and It could not remove it. When I did I could not remove. The good thing is it is stuck in a flash-drive not me Computer.


    How do I remove it when 3 Anti virus with shredding can't?





    -Apex_Lite or Finn


    Also, if I open it by mistake it will literally blow up my computer.

    :)

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file9
    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.

    There is a file that I can not remove

    Cannot Remove File From File Explorers Recent Files List

    I'm using Windows 10 and have always been able to remove files from the file explorer's recent files list. The file is listed as FileProvider and it is located in the ThisPC/downloads directory. Any other file is readily deleted from the list by the usual
    procedure. This file is not. Any suggestions?

    THANKS
