Windows 10 Pro 21H1.

Hello again,

Whilst I now have Mint on the flash drive (drive G, the downloaded .ISO (pretending to be drive I cannot be deleted - file is in use - nothing like it in Task Manager, so I can't get rid of it. Windows 10 Disc Management won't let me delete the volume.

Hello mate,

Double check to make sure you unmounted the ISO like below first. Afterwards, you should be able to delete the ISO.

Thanks for the replies,

I had double clicked on the the .ISO which mounted it.

A reboot and delete solved the problem.

Great news.

Restarting the computer would dismount any mounted ISO files.
