    Can't delete file

    So I have this Lavaspft Folder located at Progarms Files (x86) and I want to delete it. I tried to delete it but there are still 4 files in there. When I’m trying to delete it, it says “The action can’t be completed because the file is open in WC Assistant” (watch image). I tried to find WC Assistant in Task Manager but I couldn’t find it. How can I delete it? Thanks![ATTACH type=“full” width=“1040px”]7849[/ATTACH]

    Try restarting the PC, if you still cannot delete the folders then boot to safe mode & try within that to delete them.
    Do you have any Lavasoft programs installed Like AdAware?
    Look for SPWindowsService under task manager:
    Lavasoft.WCAssistant.WinService.exe is not essential for Windows 10/11/7 and will often cause problems. Click here to see what Lavasoft is doing, and how to remove Lavasoft.WCAssistant.WinService.exe.
