Question Adobe Acrobat Reader

[UknownGuest]

C:\Program Files (x86)\adobe\Acrobat Reader DC

Is this installed to windows 10 by default ? I ask because i downloaded adobe flash player and now want to delete it.
When trying to delete i get the error: You need permissions from "SYSTEM"
I have tryed to delete this file as user. as admin, as trustedinstaller and as system but keep getting same error.

How will i get rid of it? Might be malware ?

You don't "delete". Rather, you "Uninstall".

Thats the thing, adobe is not listed in my programs under controlpanel system features because its uninstalled but the mysterious file remains.. (cant uninstall theres nothing to be uninstalled just the file..)

What file?

Before i installed the program i downloaded it here, https://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/
Now i uninstalled it and deleted all remaining files expect the one keeps telling me i need permissions from the system.

The exact directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Resource\CMap
There is 2 files in there called:
Identity-H
Identity-V

Migh not be anything worth to look at, at all but then why cant i simply delete it?

Have you rebooted? Sometimes that is needed to make something actually go away.

I might not be a genious but yes ofcourse i rebooted, many many times. those files have been there for about 2 months now and still cant get rid of them.

Its actually really strange for me. When i want to delete the final files "identity H and V" it says file not found, when trying to delete the file that holds them both into them it says need admin permissions, when i confirm the popup it loads for one seccond and nothing happens, when i try to delete the first file that holds all the other ones in them it says need permissions from system.

The files are only 3 and 9 KB sice so i have no idea how smal malware virus or trojan can be and dont think this is anything dangerous but i want to understand why i cannot delete it.
Also when i check the files they dont show me what file type they are. normally you can see .reg or .txt or .xmp or anything, but here, Nothing.

OK, just checking. You'd be surprised at how many people don't think of doing that.

Not sure what thay are or why they won't go away. Sorry.
