Can't Delete Files

IE has downloaded a bunch of Chineese fonts
on to my drive.
I guess I hit some wrong keys on the keyboard
while IE was open.
I now have in Windows\system32 a directory named:
IME
which has folders named:
CINTLGNT
PINTLGNT
TINTLGNT
which take up lots of megs
and which wont delete
cause they are always in use by:
winlogon.exe.

Is there any simple way to delete this stuff?

Thank you,
Emory
 
I would try restarting in safe mode, using the command prompt and deleteing the files that way. Good Luck

It worked good enuf.
Opening in safe mode
and using in XP:

rmdir c:\windows\system32\ime /s

removed all the files in all the folders
so now 0 bytes are taken from my HD.
But strangely the IME folder
and the
CINTLGNT
PINTLGNT
TINTLGNT
folders remain.

But, enough. In fifteen years I will just get another computer.

Thanks for the suggestion.
