[Resolved] Cannot manually delete my Prepare3D v3 folder, please help

Featured Replies

I have uninstalled Prepar3D v3, however the folder still exists and I am trying to delete it and theres a font file in there that keeps saying its currently being in use. I have no idea what is using it, but the font is F14Lantirn.ttf... I have tried booting into safemode to see if I can delete the folder and still a no go, does anyone know how to get rid of this stubborn folder?

It was for Aerosoft's F14...

I mentioned in my original post that I already tried rebooting into safe mode to get rid of the file.

You may have to uninstall that aircraft if you haven't done so already. I would post this on the Aerosoft Forum first.

I already said twice that I have already rebooted into safe mode to try and delete this, but it's not working.

and I have already uninstalled the plane. So I'm not sure what process is locking this file and preventing me from deleting it.

Ok, try this http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/unlocker.html I used it in the past and was quite good. If that's not working, check your permisions for the file(right click / properties / security). You can take the ownership and then change the permisions to "full" for your user account. That should work

I tried that and I can't change the ownership of the file either... It says Unable to display current owner, and when I click on Change, it says I don't have permission to view/edit this object's permission settings.

I had the same issue with a different font. Rebooting in safe mode and then deleting solved the issue.

You have probably deleted an user account, which is a owner. I just googled about this, and this should work http://software.bootblock.co.uk/?id=bootdeleter It will delete file on restart, before windows lock it. Good Luck, please report your results, i'm curious about this one :happy:
