Exclamation Important, Could Cause Trouble, Incomplete File Won't Delete

I recently downloaded what i thought was ********* *, it wasn't, it was porn, i realized before it fully downloaded and canceled, but now the incomplete file will not download,l it just keeps on trying to work out the estimated time, never stops, and it slows my laptop right down when and after it has tried deleting it, and the "delete after so many days" isn't delete it, i tried finding the file again to try and download it fully then delete it as it says that it is 0GB. PLEASE HELP ME

Open LW and go to your library page and click on Incomplete Files. Right click on the file and delete it. If it won't delete, make sure it's not being shared and try deleting it again.

If that doesn't work, try birdy's advice here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...tml#post293695

Exclamation

But the thing is, to my eyes it exists, but to the computer it dosn't, its size is 0, technicly, it dosn't exist, the lw libary says it dosn't exist, i've tried unlocker but it won't delete, its in the shared folder but other files have deleted from it on the same day, the computer just doesn't want to delete it. I've run AVG 7.5, spybot search and destroy, Adware 2007, it hasn't picked anything up.

Try deleting it in safe mode.

There's more than one option. See Incomplete Download File won't delete at all (click on link). Also make sure LW is turned OFF when you attempt to delete it.

How about starting up from your VISTA startup disk (CD/DVD/floppies), then try deleting.
(Sorry I didn't realise Birdy's link was same as mine.) * Make sure you are disconnected from the internet at that time. Even turn your modem off or disconnect your cable to such.

Well I'm young i never installed it onto the laptop, my dad did, i'm not sure whether it was already on though, it the Vista installation disk the one that says notebook or is that a program, as the box that the laptop came in says notebook on it.

Notebook is sometimes another name given for a laptop. (But there is also a small program called notepad)
