    c. Then right click on the Eraser shortcut and select “Run as administrator”.

    Hope it helps!

    Even though you close Eraser, and even though you check the Task Manager Applications Tab and Eraser does not appear to be running, it is still running in the background.

    You have to go to the Processes Tab in Task Manager and end the program, then Run as Administrator.
