Question re: Bad Files
 

Hey All

I've downloaded 2 files that have NO content - but I can not delete, move or cut them from their location. What are they and how the hell can I get rid of them?

I'm running xp and even when I hilite the files then go to the side menu and click on the "delete file" link, NOTHING HAPPENS.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

There are some utilities for deleting stubborn files in the thread below

Did you try deleting the file in safe mode?

Thx for the quick reply....pls define "safe" mode??

Thx

If you reboot your computer & hit F8 repeatedly, it will give you the option to start in safe mode. I think there's a link to that within the other link I left, have a look:)

This will also explain safe mode

Thx birdy....no luck w/the safe mode, I'll try dwnlding one of the utilities

Unlocker is good & I've also used the delinvfile thingie (from the ask-Leo link):)

all good...thx for the assistance :D
