I can't delete a file

I have a 600MB file on my computer that I can't delete. Every time I try to, a message says "Access denied: this file is being used by another program" or "make sure file is not write protected or in use" or something along those lines.




how do I delete this file?

damn i swear i am getting fed up with my crippled computer. i HATE things that don't work properly. :mad:

gracias.
 
Right click on the file and check the attributes aren't set to read only.

If that doesn't work press CTRL-ALT-DEL,
bring up task manager and close as many apps and processes as you can.

Then try deleting the file again.
 
i went thru command prompt safe mode, but that didn't seem to work either (even though safe mode greatly reduces the # of files being used)
 
Restart Windows

and try to delete it, it should work
 
i had this, it went on for 6 months, drove me fucking crazy

try playing it in media player, and when it stops responding, use task manager to close the program, then immediately try deleting it again

it was a nightmare, a 650meg file i couldnt use or move :mad:
