Delete An "undeletable" File
Open a Command Prompt window
and leave it open.
Close all open programs.
Click Start, Run and enter
TASKMGR.EXE
Go to the Processes tab and End
Process on Explorer.exe.
Leave Task Manager open.
Go back to the Command Prompt

<filename> where <filename> is
the file you wish to delete.

undeletable file is
Choose 'All files' from the file type
box
click once on the file u wanna
delete so its name appears in the
'filename' box
put a " at the start and end of the
filename
(the filename should have the
extension of the undeletable file
so it will overwrite it)
click save,
It should ask u to overwrite the
existing file, choose yes and u can
delete it as normal
Here's a manual way of doing it.
I'll take this off once you put into
your first post zain.
1. Start
2. Run
3. Type: command
4. To move into a directory type:
cd c:\*** (The stars stand for your
folder)
5. If you cannot access the folder
because it has spaces for example
Program Files or Kazaa Lite folder
you have to do the following.
instead of typing in the full folder
name only take the first 6 letters
then put a ~ and then 1 without
spaces. Example: cd c:
\progra~1\kaz aal~1
6. Once your in the folder the non-
deletable file it in type in dir - a
list will come up with everything
inside.
7. Now to delete the file type in
del ***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc... And
if the file name has spaces you
would use the special 1st 6 letters
followed by a ~ and a 1 rule.
Example: if your file name was
bad file.bmp you would type once
in the specific folder thorugh
command, del badfil~1.bmp and
your file should be gone. Make
sure to type in the correct
extension.
