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

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.
