Cant delete folder in any way, help please!

[Gabbet]

Hello, i have been trying to delete AVG on my computer for a long time, it began when i installed it, then uninstalled it but all files are left and i cant "uninstall" it again because when i look in Add or remove programs it dont appear on the list and when i run setup.exe it wants to install it but i cant install it either because i need a licensekey for it that i dont have. I used to have Unlocker but it dont work on x64 bit systems so i cant use it either. I cant delete the folder because the program is running like 5 progresses on my computer and when i finish any process they start again within seconds...i need space on my computer and the processes is taking much memory so please help me, how can i delete this ****?

thanks /gabbet

Here you go:

You can remove all of the files individually by bringing them up through Advanced. Search. Here's what you do:

From inside the Search pane on the Start menu, press F3.
That brings up the Search page - click the Advanced Search button to the far right to open the set up screen.
In the next screen check: the Include non-indexed, hidden, and system files option. Under Location, select Computer or Everywhere, and in the Name box, fill in AVR. (After the AVR search is completed do additional searches for any other key words you think might be associated with AVR files.)

Run the searches, and wait patiently while your hard drive chatters away. It could take 20 seconds or 20 minutes, depending on how much work there is to do, but you'll eventually see extensive search results that actually represent the files on your drive. You can delete each one of these files.

By the way, before you do the searches, you might want to take a look at your Program lists in your C:\ drive. Sometimes, even though a program isn't listed any more in Programs and Features, some or all of the files still remain listed in the Programs lists. Delete those, and be sure to delete any shortcuts to the Desktop and Taskbar.

Hmm, i think you missunderstood my problem, the files im trying to delete is in use by several processes and therefor i cant delete them, when i finish a process it restarts within seconds so i cant delete the files in any way.

Hi Gabbet, welcome to the board.

Try boot up into safe mode and delete the unwanted files there.

Hope this helps.
