Rule # 1 - never transfer files this early.

Rule # 2 - don’t even think about transferring files this early.

Rule # 3 - memorize rules #1 and #2.

 If you can’t delete the files, uninstall and reinstall the program.

If it wont let you delete the files in 2019, try closing the program, reboot the computer and open 2019 again, see if you have better luck.

Or you can always use Windows File manager and Delete them from there, then when you open 2019 again, run Database Maintenance and that should take them out of HomeBase.
