WAS CLEANING OUT AN OLD SECONDARY HDD-DELETED A LOT----WHEN I DELETED THOSE ITEMS IN THE RECYCLE BIN IT WOULD STICK ON ONE ITEM---COURF_1.FON, A FONT FILE--IF I RUN CCLEANER IT STICKS ON THIS FILE AND WON'T CONTINUE ON TO REMOVE THE OTHER ITEMS-
HAVE TRIED TO DELETE, RESTORE IT ETC. BUT TO NO AVAIL--
PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN NUKE THIS THING FROM MY PC-THANKS

Hi

I'm guessing that this isn't the hard drive that has Windows on it?

Courier is a standard Windows Font, your computer probably thinks it's in use though that seems odd since it's already in the Recycle Bin on another drive.

If you have Malwarebytes installed go to the More Tools tab and try using File Assassin.

Or boot into safe mode and try from there.

I've had folders that just wouldn't delete, until I turned off the UAC.
