Windows 10: why i cant delete my fonts?

i have some chinese and urdu, etc... fonts that i will never use so i've tried to delete some of them from settings and from their folder in c:\windows\fonts also in safe mode too but when i hit delete\uninstall nothing happens... as if i didn't delete them and no further messages or notifications when windows makes sure i want to delete\uninstall the font. same happens with my other laptop with a completely different user\email address.how can i delete those fonts?

:)

 

Some web pages not displaying fonts correctly: at a loss here  

For me this works:

Step 1: Run Command Prompt as administrator.

Step 2: Type C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf and press Enter.


Then I get the install option (no longer greyed out)
