    Hey all,
    I am trying to delete EEK from my computer but I cannot due to epp.sys in the bin64 folder being in use.
    I have used multiple file unlock tools and even after multiple reboots it will still not delete.
    has anyone else experienced this and have a solution?
    i have deleted everything in the other folders relating to eek it is just the one file that remains.

    I am running windows 10 pro 64bit

    Thanks

    You have to stop the service that is responsible for loading this driver. Then you can delete it.

    I am having the same problem, cannot delete the EEK folder, I have searched for the service as suggested but see nothing that I can identify with the Emergency Kit. I would appreciate further suggestions or recommendations and would thank you in advance. As always I appreciate all replies.

    Thank you Stapp, followed the instructions and was successful in deleting the folder. I like the Emergency Kit and intend on reinstalling a new version in a few days. Again thanks!
