Unable to delete files
 

I have 3 files in a folder which i cannot delete.

Ive tried changing ownership and messing with security on the files + ive tried move on boot and still they will not delete.

Can someone advise me please?
Thanks

Run linux from a boot disc and use that to delete them. Are you sure they won't affect your O/S if deleted?

I've used this to good effect in the past.

No they are files left over from unzipping a program.

Have you tried to delete them from an admin command prompt window?

I sometime cannot delete a folder at work after I have copied it to the server.

It tells me it's open in another program.

But later it will delete.

Try using "UNLOCKER"

Unlocker deleted 1 of 3. I even tried having them delete on reboot and no joy.

Alan try CCleaner in registry setting

Than tools icon and use - disk analyser - find offending files - tick box - right click delete.

They'd be gone by now if he'd used a live Linux boot disc as suggested 3 days ago.
