Can't delete file?

Try restarting if you haven't already, and do a run > cmd > del c:\directory\directory\filename.

In the past if I haven't been able to get rid of something through the command line a restart with trying right after it boots usually does the trick.

If not try disabling your sound card then try deleting it, it could be that it's in use by your sound card although I doubt it since it isn't giving you a file is in use error.

 

I have a same sort of problem(have it for 1 mounth now it didnt do anything so i just left it) on my E: drive the folder Red Faction what ever I do it always gives me the msg cannot read from the source file or drive(also in dos )
Whats verry strange is when I put a file init I doesnt move to it no it renames the file I copied to red faction without the extension like exe,txt

I thought it had something to do with my harddisk being broke or something or a virus but doesnt seem like it

Its not really a problem but if it can be solved its better then now

 

Do you have Nero installed?

If so try deleting it through it's file manager, I've seen it be able to take out a few files MS's explorer doesn't want to get rid of.

The only other solution I can see is try to grab something like Sys Internals Process Explorer and see if you can take it out with it.

 

Are you able to rename the file?

 

Logged in as Admin? You might not have rights to everything unless you're admin or have admin privileges.
Also, ya might try going into safe mode and deleting it. I've had to delete stuff that way once or twice.
