Heaven's Door can't be deleted at all

[EEMNHMQI]

I posted this on its thread, but I feel that it's more appropriate to post it here.

Here's something out of left field: I downloaded this a month ago, and I decided to launch it today after procrastinating a bunch. But I got some error that said that there were missing fonts in one of the folders. I went to check, and the font was indeed there but the .ttf file is corrupted... I can't even access the main menu or right-click ingame.

Since I never bothered to launch it before, I simply went ahead and tried to delete it. To my surprise, Windows asked me to grant Admin permissions to delete everything but that was useless; the only folder that is still standing is game\gui and its subfolders. I tried

• Shift+Del.
• cmd.
• Downloading a couple of tools (EMCO UnlockIt and LockHunter) to forcibly remove it.

Nothing worked. Then, I thought about re-downloading everything since I tried to use ScrappyMod when I first got it, but I decided to check on VirusTotal (bunkr and MEGA links, since those are the fastest and won't ask for captcha in JDownloader), and on both there was one flag for phishing. Now, I know that 1/96 usually means a false positive, and admittedly both flags come from different security vendors, but now I'm kinda second-guessing myself upon this.

Not necessarily asking for further advice, but I wonder if someone else had this issue, too... I downloaded it again, minus ScrappyMod just in case, but that was useless

How on Earth can I delete this or, at least, make it work properly?

Launch in Safe Mode, and try deleting from there.

That just did it! I did delete it with UnlockIT just in case it refused to cooperate again, but after rebooting it was no longer there.

Guh... I've so many questions as to why it took booting on safe mode rather than just- Thank you.

I'd still do an in-depth system scan though, while files can get corrupted for various reasons, one of those reasons can be malware. So, just to be safe, I'd consider a system scan if I were in you.
