I have the usual problem that prevents me from deleting fonts saying that the font is in use.
I tried everything and nothing happens, and this time searching the font in the registry I can't even find it.

I had this issue this week and fixed it by downloading Microsoft's Process Explorer and going to Find > Find Handle or DLL... (Ctrl + F) and searching for the font. It will show you what app is using it and you can then kill the app and will be able to delete the font.

What error do you get if you try and delete the .ttf from %windir%\fonts? – spikey_richie – 2019-05-16T09:00:00.853
It tells me that the file is in use even if I have all apps closed – Emanuele Greco – 2019-05-16T09:07:16.077
1In that case if you're desperate to delete the file, F8 on boot up to bring up the boot menu, then drop into a command prompt. Delete, reboot and off you go. – spikey_richie – 2019-05-16T09:35:30.093
