Hello, I downloaded a video editing software (Wondershare Filmora) but I didn't like it, so I tried to uninstall it but it said "a file is open in system." I opened the 'WondershareFilmora' folder and deleted each file one by one, but there is still one left (the one apparently open in 'system'): Lato-Regular:

it's very strange, I really want to delete it but I don't know how to do it, can you help me?

    Hello
    to delete an open file, Windows should not be started
    so it must be done in safe mode
    then, to ensure that all files of this application are properly deleted, you need to go into the registry
    but if you don't know, it's better to leave it as it is than to mess things up
