I searched it up but it only tells me how to delete a folder that's just in a directory. Basically I have two files in my downloads folder that I downloaded for FL Studio and I can't delete them. I don't know why, it just says it can't find them so I can't delete them.

 

I want a clean downloads folder. I want to use CMD to force delete them but I can't figure it out. What do I do? Thanks.

if the files are locked by explorer

then cmd probably won't help

use a file unlock and delete program
