YES!!! Another annoyance from windows. Did you try while windows is in safe mode? Another trick would be to make a live linux usb stick, boot it, and then you can access the c drive and remove whatever you want.

Hi

If you are trying to remove Firefox profiles, it may help to do so from about:profiles, clearing any remaining files with Firefox closed.
