Tried to delete the game from my USB where I downloaded it, but a part of the game just won't delete and I don't know why. I fear there may be a virus or something.

From what I know, Itch.io has automated virus scanning. I've also downloaded my game here multiple times for testing purposes. I've also scanned it multiple times; I've detected no threats. I'm no expert, but I think it's either getting flagged as suspicious by antivirus or your USB had a virus beforehand. Or a file from the game is open in Task Manager, which you need to close before deleting the game.

I've delved into the files of the  game and apparently the file that's giving me trouble is called ';. Full file is "lib/python3.9/multiprocessing/';". It won't delete no matter how many times I try and thus causes whatever files contain to not be deleted and it says it's not accessible.

Hmmm. I tested it right now, I detected no virus or threats, and I can delete "lib/python3.9" and all the game files. I published this game to multiple platforms, and this is the first time this case has happened.

Must be a problem on my end then. I have no idea what to look for so I'll just deal with it as it comes
