I am having a lot of trouble trying to delete a couple of incomplete (preview) movies that I downloaded from Limewire a couple of months ago.

Every time I click on the preview movie in question there is NO option in the drop down list to delete it from my pc, which is very frustrating. I can't understand why I am able to delete other movies but not these 2, therefore, it still shows up in my movies downloaded section when I click on search in windows.

It also comes up with a message saying something like: 'Cannot delete this file as it is being used by another program' 'Please close down the program and try again' - or something like this.

Now, I did actually delete Limewire altogether from my pc a little while ago as I was having connection problems with it, so I downloaded limewire again and it works ok now. I wondered if this was part of the problem?

I also had Real Player (the old version not sure how old though), already installed on my pc, and this was set as my default player, so the movies would open in them.

Well, since I have also deleted Real Player (which I wish I hadn't done now), and have since downloaded another version from the net, which doesn't allow me to copy movies anyway!

I just don't know what to do now as I just want these logos with the title of the movies gone from my pc for good please.

Can anyone please please help me with this, and what I am supposed to do as I not very pc savvy?

Also, does anyone know where I can get a FULL working version EDIT, that actually allows you to copy movies onto disc? I don't care which version it is.

Thanks.

Go to your incomplete folder outside of limewire, to find this folder select the file from the incomplete section of your limewire library and select explore, you should then have a window pop up containing the incomplete downloads.....

Close Limewire down, to make sure limewire is shut down properly go to your task manager and see if it is running in the process window (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) if it is running end the process....

Then right click on the files and select delete....

If that doesn't work use your computers Search and enter the name of the file into it....Once the search finds your files you can try and delete from there...

If that doesn't work try Lotr's tips in this link...
Incomplete Download File won't delete at all.

To change your computers default player....

Go to your shared folder (outside of Limewire) you will find this folder by clicking on one of your files in your LW library and clicking explore...

Right click on one of your files
Select open with
Select choose program
Select the program of your choice
and tick the box that says always use this program to open this file type
Select OK

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

I have tried the first option you suggested already, with no success.

I have since deleted Real Player from my pc completely, and have noticed that the preview movie icon is now showing as Windows Movie player underneath it.

I then tried deleting it from doing a pc search outside of Limewire, (making sure that LW was closed down beforeheand), this again, didn't work.

I am now going to check out the link you sent me, I hope I can find the answer here, I will let you know.
Thanks again for your help.
If you or anyone has any other ideas then please can you let me know.
Thanks
