    First disable it, then try deleting it. Should work.

    Which Operating System do you use? If it's Vista, do you have admin rights on the system?

    It might be a process that is running. Maybe try to end that process in the Task Manager, then uninstall again.

    In that case, its time to use an unlocker sofware!

    Download this-> #-Link-Snipped-#

    Then right click on that defwatch file to unlock it ๐Ÿ˜€

    If its not explicitly listed in the processes, there might be other instances that depend on it. You can eventually find out using other software, but it might take a while. I hope the unlocker software is sufficient!
