Check to see if you can start your computer using only command prompt and not starting Vista at all. The main reason for files not deleting is that there are Windows processes connected with it.

Using command prompt (this is for DOS but should be the same commands)

MS-DOS help and commands

The del commands are the ones you are looking for. E.g. navigate to your user and delete the incomplete folder - deltree incomplete

Do you mean System Restore (to restore your computer to an earlier time)?

I don't use Vista, but have a look at the info below.

Out of curiosity, have you turned on Show Hidden extensions. There may be hidden characters in the file name. Tried renaming the entire file?

2 pieces of advice:

if you were using a dual boot machine (you know, with 2 separate OS's on it) you could remotely delete it from the other OS..

try this, move the file into its own special folder, then using safe mode delete the folder

How about drag & drop a file/folder of same name into same directory, choose replace.
Be sure you are disconnected from the internet, cable at back of computer if necessary. Did you try starting up from a startup disk? Or even a network for a lan if you are connected on a lan.
