Need help in uninstalling Flash files from Macromed

Question

Hi,

I don't have Adobe Flash application in Control Panel of my Windows10 laptop. I also performed by downloading the uninstallation file, it says uninstallation is complete and needs restart, all is done. But I can still find Flash files in these paths C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

I tried to Delete thos files but gives an error- 'You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to the file.' Screenshot is attached below

Can I get some help how to delete these files?

The files you're seeing are most likely the IE/Edge embedded Flash Player files which are components of IE/Edge and are not removed by Adobe's uninsataller, which does not remove any browser embedded Flash Player version.

For IE/Edge on Windows 8.x/10: Microsoft has released an update, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4577586/update-for-removal-of-adobe-flash-player, to remove the IE/Edge embedded Flash Player ActiveX Control
