Windows 10: this action cannot be completed because because file is open in windows event log

I am unable to delete this file can somebody help

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

 

Cant Delete event log file

Hi

I've been trying to delete appsanywhere so that I can reinstall it however it won't give me the option to reinstall. I think that this is because there are still two files from the software on my PC. These files are

"AppsAnywhereExternalUpdater.evtx"

"S2AppsAnywhere.evtx"

I've tried deleting them but it says "The action can't be completed because the file is open in windows event log"

So I deleted all of my event log files and it still says that its open in the event log even though there is nothing in my event log viewer. The only reason I know that its still on my PC is because I'm running a search everything app.

Please tell me how to delete these files because everything I've tried hasn't worked

(Also I don't know too much about event log files and stuff so please be super obvious in your response)

Thank you

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
