There is a file on my computer that I just cannot delete. Its says its being used by another process but I have restarted in safe mode and still couldnt delete it.
Any help would certainly be appreciated!
Thanks :cool:
 
See how this goes. If not let us know. There is more. :D

Just open NOTEPAD and then click on "OPEN". Navigate to the file in the little Notepad "explorer" window and right click on the file and delete it. Supposedly that's will do it. by allan
 
Yeah, this happens with .avi files a lot... very annoying. Do what Hipster Doofus says, but if that doesn't work, then try some other programs and you should be able to get rid of it. I usually use VirtualDub or DivFix to delete the files that won't go away.
 
i had this exact same problem a few weeks back. turns out, some app was "using" the file. i rebooted, right-clicked the sneaky bastige and deleted it.

try a reboot, shut down all unnecessary apps and then try deleting it.
 
hey, do you use anything like daemon tools? its a possibility that your xvid is still mounted, if you do, then you know what the problem is

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
