How delete PS fonts from Windows\Fonts?

When moving Y&Y to a new PC, I mistakenly let the installation script
install the PostScript fonts -- all the .pfm and .pfb files -- to
c:\Windows\Fonts on my Windows XP system.

How do I delete them??

I do NOT have any ATM installed (I will be installing ATM Deluxe 4.1).

Trying to delete the fonts with File > Delete from the Fonts control
panel gives Error Deleting File or Folder, "Cannot delete file: Cannot
read from the source file or disk".

Trying to delete them from a command line at first seemed to work,
resulting in the .pfm files now all having size 0 KB, but still being
there.

P.S. The reason I want them deleted is that I keep all PS fonts in
d:\psfonts.
