Delete An Undeletable File
Open a Command Prompt
window and leave it open.
Close all open programs.
Click Start, Run and enter
TASKMGR.EXE Go to the
Processes tab and End
Process on Explorer.exe.
Leave Task Manager open.
Go back to the Command
Prompt window and
change to the directory the
AVI (or other undeletable
file) is located in. At the
command prompt type
DEL where is the file you
wish to delete. Go back to
Task Manager, click File,
New Task and enter
EXPLORER.EXE to restart the
GUI shell. Close Task
Manager. Or you can try
this Open Notepad.exe Click
File>Save As..> locate the
folder where ur undeletable
file is Choose ‘All files’ from
the file type box click once
on the file u wanna delete
so its name appears in the
‘filename’ box put a ” at the
start and end of the
filename (the filename
should have the extension
of the undeletable file so it
will overwrite it) click save,
It should ask u to overwrite
the existing file, choose yes
and u can delete it as
normal Here’s a manual
way of doing it. I’ll take this
off once you put into your
first post zain. 1. Start 2.
Run 3. Type: command 4.
To move into a directory
type: cd c:\*** (The stars
stand for your folder) 5. If
you cannot access the
folder because it has spaces
for example Program Files
or Kazaa Lite folder you
have to do the following.
instead of typing in the full
folder name only take the
first 6 letters then put a ~
and then 1 without spaces.
Example: cd c:
\progra~1\kazaal~1 6. Once
your in the folder the non-
deletable file it in type in dir
– a list will come up with
everything inside. 7. Now
to delete the file type in del
***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc…
And if the file name has
spaces you would use the
special 1st 6 letters followed
by a ~ and a 1 rule.
Example: if your file name
was bad file.bmp you
would type once in the
specific folder thorugh
command, del
badfil~1.bmp and your file
should be gone. Make sure
to type in the correct
extension.
