[Retired Tech]

Right click the entry, click delete, confirm, restart the PC

[maradei]

sorry to be such an idiot how do i confirm

[Retired Tech]

When you right click it, click delete, you should get a box, are you sure you want to delete this file, click yes

That is standard whenever you delete anything

[maradei]

it didnt ask ...should i be just deleting it in the search box or right clicking it opning it from the search box then deleting it?

[Retired Tech]

Just right click it in the search box

Another way is to see where it is located, open the folder, right click it and delete it

[maradei]
