The file is in Programdata folder/backblaze. I was able to delete all the files except 1 deep into several subfolders

How did you remove that app Backblaze. In the usual Windows settings or by Revo uninstaller?
If it was not with Revo, shortest way seems to me re-installing Backblaze and then removing it by Revo, whilst letting it remove all traces in registry and in (sub-)folders as well.

Another option is to display the name of the file here in the forum. Maybe someone has experienced the same problem before.

PS. Did you already try if a restart would help?

Backblaze won't reinstall, because of that log file that I can't delete and the uninstall didn't delete it. . I've never used Revo

file name - bzrestore_20260428_16.log

Lots of reboots - didn't help

You might try to use 'ThisIsMyFile' (download it from here), a file-unlocking program.

I use it on my system, needed it rather frquently in the past, but nowadays seldomly.
It can be used as portable app (you'll have to install it that way, instructions included in the ZIP file) or it can be installed.

If the log file is opened by a "hidden" service, it can not be removed. It could be possibly removed via safe mode, but that is not really an option via a remote desktop. Maybe try autoruns and search for backblaze?

Have you tried changing permissions via CMD or GUI? Make sure to remove inheritance and then replace all child object...
Code: 
takeown /s %computername% /u %username% /f E:\Steam /r /d y

Hi, get yourself a copy of Emco Unlockit (free).
(Assuming that using remote access you can install a program).

That's not just an unlocker- it will also set up a task for you to delete items on restart - when- yes- no permisssion restrictions exist.
Done.

Neat program - I've recommended it a number of times on tenforums.

I have to agree Revo may not be able to remove that file, However it will remove it on reboot.
