Caveat: Using a old Windows10 VM, might not be the same as the latest.
Very strange. Using a Gimp 2.10.12 (portable) made some 3 page tiff files (and with tif extension) - various options, unpacked, lzw, deflate compression, put them on the desktop and not able to delete them. Drag-n-drop / right-click delete / in a terminal usual del /f file.ext to force a delete just hangs. https://i.imgur.com/aELmFWn.jpg
Spent the last hour or so trying out various Windows utilities to unlock / delete stubborn files, alternative file managers old and new. Tried starting in 'safe-mode' Nothing working, run out of Windows ideas. Hate to be beat
As a fall back which depends on your installation. Booting from a linux live (CD or usb). This one the last free (2013) partedmagick utility disk. https://i.imgur.com/xOcpfY7.jpg
That got rid of the tiff files but do not expect it to work if the disk is encrypted. You do have to be careful if you do not know linux.
