Special K removal?

[แมทธิว]

Hi, I installed this mod called special K mod a while ago, it was supposed to make NieR: Automata lag less, but I didn't notice anything. A month later I'm trying to launch call of duty: black ops and it crashes with the special K mod overlay at the top. So I believe it's crashing due to the mod.

Point is, I'm trying to remove it and there's this one file that it won't let me delete, even when I close all the open programs, because it pops up telling me it's open in another program. It's labelled "SpecialK32.dll" If anyone knows how I can remove that then please help me, thanks.

Often one of two things helps with that:
- Restarting the Windows Explorer through Task Manager;
- Restarting the computer and then immediately delete the file.

Alright, I'll give that a go, thanks.

It'd be better to post in the Special K - "Kaldaien's Mod" group for the best possible help with this problem.

Sure thing, buddy. It happens every now and then in Windows. Such files get "locked in" when they are used in a program and sty like that, even after you closed the program.

Not necessary for a generic Windows issue.
