Delete An undeletable File


Open a Command Prompt window and leave it open.
Close all open programs.
Click Start, Run and enter TASKMGR.EXE
Go to the Processes tab and End Process on Explorer.exe.
Leave Task Manager open.
Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory the AVI
(or other undeletable file) is located in.
At the command prompt type DEL where is the file
you wish to delete.
Go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to
restart the GUI shell.
Close Task Manager.
Or you can try this




Open Notepad.exe

Click File>Save As..>

locate the folder where ur undeletable file is

Choose 'All files' from the file type box

click once on the file u wanna delete so its name appears in the 'filename' box

put a " at the start and end of the filename

(the filename should have the extension of the undeletable file so it will
overwrite it)

click save,

It should ask u to overwrite the existing file, choose yes and u can delete it as
normal

Here's a manual way of doing it. I'll take this off once you put into your first
post zain.

1. Start

2. Run

3. Type: command

4. To move into a directory type: cd c:\*** (The stars stand for your folder)

5. If you cannot access the folder because it has spaces for example Program

Files or Kazaa Lite folder you have to do the following. instead of typing in the
full folder name only take the first 6 letters then put a ~ and then 1 without
spaces. Example: cd c:\progra~1\kazaal~1

6. Once your in the folder the non-deletable file it in type in dir - a list will
come up with everything inside.

7. Now to delete the file type in del ***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc... And if the file
name has spaces you would use the special 1st 6 letters followed by a ~ and a
1 rule. Example: if your file name was bad file.bmp you would type once in the
specific folder thorugh command, del badfil~1.bmp and your file should be
gone. Make sure to type in the correct extension.
