I have an Asus laptop that refuses to delete Flash. The uninstall (in settings and the standalone download) appear to work but don't erase the Macromedia folders - I assume the flash.ocx file is the culprit. Next time I restart it's back. No plugins, I've removed all the bloatware I can find, nothing enabled in startup, nothing obvious in services, and no internet connection - it just won't go away. I haven't gone through the tedious process of changing ownership of each file so I can manually delete. Anybody know of a simpler way to put a stake in this thing?

Reinstall and uninstall with Revo Uninstaller (https://www.revouninstaller.com/products/revo-uninstaller-free/) . Revo is an uninstaller on crack.
Last chance, Iobit Unlocker (https://www.iobit.com/en/iobit-unlocker.php) , which will work.
Once it is ripped, you'll want to run a mild registry cleaner (the one in CCleaner will do fine)

Actually I can. But the travel time would kill you.
