In use by another program or person. I have tried uninstalling everything, delteing all folders, etc etc. I cannot for the life of me get rid of that .exe. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Did you try in safe mode. That usally works every time.

That is unusual...

If you already have administrator rights, try booting into Windows Safe Mode and deleting the file...

You could try using Unlocker 1.8.0. Simply install the program, and right click the file/folder in question. Then from the menu choose "Unlocker". The program will tell you if there are any programs locking the file, as well as give you options on how to handle it (such as delete it, rename, move), and if it's unable to delete the file it will ask you about doing so when you reboot.
