Question Cant Delete downloads that wont play...Help

I am very new at all of this, but what happens is I download songs and only a handful will actually play so I try to delete the ones that dont play but I cant because I get a message saying that the file is being used somewhere else, how this is possible I dont know, but I also dont know what to do about it, anybody that can help would be great!

Close LW then delete them.

For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.

Hi....I'm not expert on, well, anything computer related, but, I'm thinking you may have downloaded spyware. I downloaded a song a week or so ago and it looked normal until I tried to play it and it wouldn't play (also noticed it wouldn't preview while downloading---maybe a tipoff that something is amiss?). I tried to delete the file and it would not delete (said it was in use). Tried deleting it thru the Library tab on LimeWire, but, didn't work either. Finally, I scanned the file with AVG and it came up as infected with the following: Downloader.Wimad.N

There's a thread about this on the boards... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...-limewire.html I'm trying to find out if I'm "safe" as far as the infection thru this other thread as I'm not tech savvy.

Anyway, scan the file with your antispyware and antivirus to check for anything suspicious. If you finally did delete the file, just scan your computer with both to be safe.

Hope this helps
