| 780330 | 2009-06-07 09:06:00 | I downloaded a .csv file from my online banking site. Not having Excel I opened with an old Works programme. However, now it won't open, won't delete, won't rename. It's obviously corrupted. Any ideas how to delete it please? | Shortstop (632) | ||
| 780331 | 2009-06-07 09:09:00 | Getting any error when you try to delete it? If so whats it say? Download Malwarebytes if you don't already have it and try the file assassin tool built into it. |

| 780339 | 2009-06-07 10:48:00 | Try move on Boot (www.softpedia.com) -- Sometimes works , sometimes doesn't. if that doesn't work, try deleting it in safe mode -- IF that doesn't work, there has been times when I have had to load a live Linux CD, change the read/write to allow alterations ( if required) , then find the file, delete it , reboot back into windows. |
