instagib Posted June 11, 2021 I have tried everything but no matter what, I cannot delete zandronum. I have even deleted the exe but it always says "the action cannot be completed because zandronum is opened by zandronum" I tried the uninstaller but that only deleted a couple files, and when I tried to delete the rest it said they were all opened by zandronum and I couldnt delete them. I also cant play doom 2 because it is opened by zandronum. HELP 1 Share this post Link to post

MelonadeM Posted June 11, 2021 if you didn't already, restart your computer then try to delete zandronum - seems like there may be some task that's running that depends on zandronum and a restart should fix that 0 Share this post Link to post

Dark Pulse Posted June 11, 2021 Reboot in safe mode and then delete it. Sounds like something weird is going on, but safe mode should nip it in the bud. 3 Share this post Link to post

It's not an issue of admin privileges, it's an issue of that something is somehow opening it even when he's closed it, and presumably he's tried task killing it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xeebleton Posted June 25, 2021 try restarting your computer. that helped when I had a similar problem with PRBOOM+ (where I couldnt move or rename the folder cuz it said that it was opened, even though I had no windows open). 0 Share this post Link to post
