How to delete a font from the windows folder?

[Dater]

Greetings!

I manually copied a japanese font into my windows/fonts folder, but now when i try to delete it, my o2 neo says its in use and i can't delete it.

Of course i terminated all tasks and rebooted several times but i still can't delete it.

Does anyone of you have any suggestions regarding my situation? Maybe a program to unlock files? Or a Program which will delete the file after the next reboot or something similar?

Help is greatly appreciated!

No response yet?

So i guess the only choice is to do a hard reset?

Isn't there a little trick i could use to delete that stupid .ttf file?

Hi,

you must rename the *.ttf to *.old or so.

then softreset and than delete.

*.ttf is loaded automatic at system

Thats impossible!!!
It really worked!

Thank you soo much Menkul!

I even didn't try that out, because i thought the OS wouldn't allow me to rename a locked file

Guys, you are so fantastic, without you life with PPCs would be incredibly harder. This tip saved me hours of restore-work.

Thanks for your engagement, I will honor this
