| 1343003 | 2013-05-24 06:40:00 | How do I delete a file that won't delete? | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1343004 | 2013-05-24 06:43:00 | Is some program holding it open eg Excel or Word? If so, trying killing the process in Task Manager first. Otherwise, there are programs to can get that delete the undeletable. Can't remember its name right now though... | Jen (38) | ||
| 1343005 | 2013-05-24 06:54:00 | Its a old zip file, its not open at all. The virus scanner is also having trouble getting past it. (that is why I want to delete it) Looking at the name its a full web site backup from one I used to be involved with. |

| 1343010 | 2013-05-24 12:03:00 | No, I was hoping there was a quicker way. In the 5 hours since your first post and that one, surely you could have tried Safe Mode? Personally, I'd boot a Linux CD and delete it with that. |

| 1343012 | 2013-05-25 23:27:00 | Yeah I bit the bullet and deleted it with Safe Mode. All good now. |
