How can I fully kill a program and/or python code running on Windows?

-1

I was running Sublime Text 3, but it seems I've created an infinite loop somehow. I was writing an image to file but when I look in the folder I see that the image is flickering between one of those generic image icons and the actual image. So clearly python keeps rewriting the file.

I already tried closing all of the tabs and then closing the text editor, but I still can't delete the file in my folder. Is there maybe a way to fully kill either sublime or the python code running in the background?

Make a right click on empty space of task bar and choose from menu 'task manager', look over list processes and when you spot "sublime"(or python process), make a right click on it and choose - "kill process tree".
If you want more details about running processes you might want to use much better program than "task manager", it called "Process Explorer" that can be downloaded from official microsoft site

If you familiar with console's cmd, run it as administrator next time and use tasklist to spot process ID aka PID and then use taskkill /PID 12345 /T where 12345 is a PID of misbehaved process
