    Use "IObit Unlocker". Install it, This wont work in the recycle bin so "Create a folder on the desktop and move the files there" Then right click the FEF file and select (IObit Unlocker) in the context menu. In the box that comes up click Unlock and then click Exit. do that with the files in question, and then highlight them all, hold Shift and right click the files, select delete and yes to permanently delete.

    As a Nikon camera shooter who shoots only shoots RAW (NEF) I have absolutely no issue deleting them off my PC. And there are no special procedures to do so. I shot with a Nikon D800E (36.3 megapixel files) and a D850 (45.7 megapixel files).

    No issue whatsoever deleting these files from anywhere.

    Anyway the OP's post seems to be a re-hash of the same thread here - Cannot delete Raw files

    Same here, but I'm using a D3, with 25 MB NEF files. (Yes, I'm going to upgrade this year.)
