Try rebooting the system and then attempting to remove the program once more.

 

Are you using the default uninstaller associated with the program?

Did it actually remove any files when moving it to the Recycling Bin?

in task manger look for any processes related to realtemp and kill them

also make sure in your startup processes there isnt anything realtemp related there and restart your PC

then you should be able to delete the file

In the folder for the program, there should've been an icon that was for the uninstaller to run.

I think reinstalling the program will do the trick in getting proper removal.
