What kind of file is this?
Many people have your problem with .avi files, as the Windows explorer preview feature is hogging the file.
Booting into safe mode will not always help.
The DOS Box is your friend.
If you have this problem frequently try disabling the preview feature.
Alternatively you can use this which does the same, but is easier for some people.

Nah, try booting in safe mode, then deleting it.

It's not the same problem, and even then, that solution doesn't work. not with me.
I think he should just try booting in safe mode, then deleting it.
Nutball, don't mislead members of the public like that! We all know that all he has to do is Try booting into safe mode and deleting it. That's The Truth.

Heh, years and years of university, i have 5 degrees, i can speak 8 languages fluently, including ancient aramaic and babylonian. That's the kind of knowledge you need to have to know that you should try booting into safe mode and deleting the file.
You common carbon-based organism, i'm just superior. Get over it and lead your sorry insignificant life knowing that there is a God. Goodbye.
I think I have a better solution to the problem..

This WinBug bothered me for a while, until I found this program:

I will never install something from a guy who can't spell! you know what they say... You can't spell, you can't code!
I dunno about that program, mebbe he should try booting into safe-mode and deleting the file? :|
I am surprised that no one yet has suggested the obvious recourse of booting into safe-mode and deleting it.
Apart from that: If the file is ‘non-deletable’, it might be because of an illegal character in the filename. In such cases I have found that the file browser in Nero will happily rid you of such files when explorer will not.

I resorted to not-using my PC at the moment for anything else than watching DVDs (Buffy), until the problem explained in my wonderful thread in the Software forum goes away.
