Try restarting your computer. It might just be that the program that was using it didn't close right. If you still can't delete it, try booting into safe mode (Press F8 while the computer is booting and then choose safe mode). Find the file and delete it from there and restart like normal and your problem should be fixed.

Get a program such as Window Washer. It will delete duplicate files on your computer without removing anything you need. If you want it to, these programs will also clear your internet cache and files you haven't used in a long time. You don't have to get Window Washer, though. A less expensive uninstaller program will work fine. Just make sure it is from a reputable company like McAfee, Symantec (Norton), etc.

First, since the files are movable, move them one at a time until you find which is causing you trouble - then delete it.\nSince the files are accessible from other programs, I'd open them and save them in a working folder.\nIf you haven't tried to move things around using the command line (DOS), that might be of some help.

I am just assuming you have already tried simply deleting cookies or deleting the actual file, so give me an e-mail with some more details like where exactly the file in question is located and what the exact name of the file is and I'll see if I can help.

When it asks you if you want to delete them, press delete. If you can't delete them you can delete them manually by finding their original files and delete them.\n\n\nMore infomation in the source.

You could probably use the file drop down bar and click save to save and look in the "my movies" file on your computer to delete (put file in recycle bin).

It won't let you delete it? Download "Unlocker"...it deletes just about every file.

I dont really understand what the problem is, youll have to be a little more specific. But what I think your saying is that you tried to delete it but cant? It might be hidden in your temporary folders, downloaded internet files, or C:/RECYCLED. Recycled, by default, is a hidden folder, so you will have to type that in the address bar. It might be in there, but if you have checked everywhere and its still hidden, it might be a corrupted file.

If the file is viral or spyware, it may be re-initializing itself before you can delete the file.  You'll need an anti-virus and or Spyware removal tool to get rid of such types of files.  Otherwise you need to find out what program is associated to the exact file you want to delete, ensure the program is not running and remove the file that way.  I suspect though that you are talking about a spyware/virus problem.  To get rid of some of those files even anti-virus and Spyware removal tools aren't always enough.  You'll also need to be able to navigate your system registry to disable the files before startup so that the anti-virus and spyware removal tools can remove the file.
