This is a left-over file that was not removed by the program's
uninstall routine.

Trying to delete it results in the "locked or in use" error.
...
So how do I remove this file?

And the mystery file is named what? And in what path? For all me know
from the lack of info on the file is that you are attempting to delete a
system file.

Learn how to properly configure your NNTP client to add a signature.
Yours was *not* a signature at all but instead in the body of your post
(so your wannabe signature became fluff *in* the body of your post).
Two underscores and a newline is NOT a proper signature delimiter line.
A correct sigdash line is "-- \n" (dash dash space newline). Adding 2
invalid signature delimiter lines (your 2 underscores) also doesn't
define a proper sigdash line.

You are using Forte Agent. According to its own users, that client does
NOT automatically insert a proper signature delimiter. YOU have to add
the "-- " line at the start of your signature content.
