go to start menu.. type in "Run", then when that opens type in cmd, and press enter again
type inside of command prompt del /f File Name-(name of the File)
Also include the path of the file you replace with file name
so i think it would be somthing of this sort

cd G:\(your name)\Downloads

del /f instruksia_279llQ.exe (or what ever that is) let me know if i messed up

So you still have permission to the file. Usually Windows will tell you why it can't delete the file. Is there anything under More Details when deleting? It's more than likely being used by another program, such as itself or an anti-virus scanning it.

then it let me delete it. but how do I know if it's completely off my system do I just empty the recycle bin?
