[FFmpeg-user] how do I get rid of ffmpeg.exe that prevents me from deleting a vLC file?

[Catriel Beeri]

A VLC file is used to play music/videos. It is a pretty old  volunteer
effort.
As for the problem, I did close a process before I sent the request for
help.
The problem seemed to persist.
Now, however, it seems to be gone.

Thanks for the quick response.
