File won't bloody delete

Teh_Gerbil · December 2005

OK, I was downloading the Battlefiedl 1918 2 airshow installer... and it failed halfway through. So, I go to delete to fucked .exe... and apparentley it is in use by another application. So, I clear firefox downloads list, only thing I can think of. Nope.

I restart the computer.

Nope.

Any ideas?

Try deleting it from the command line, rather than Windows Explorer.

And if that dont work try booting up in Safe mode and going into

My Computer

C:

Documents and Settings

<User Name>

And then finding the file and deleting it.

I've had this quite often, I use Unlocker which tends to work most of the time.

Or you could try MoveOnBoot from http://www.gibinsoft.net/gipoutils/fileutil/index.htm
