Can't delete printers

Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to navigate to the printer spooler
directory. Then, delete all files in the directory. Restart Windows.

The default spooler directory is:
c:\Windows\system32\spool\printers

Adjust the path depending on the disk and directory of your Windows
installation.
