Use this at command promt: del "rock not found.file_extension" When u enclose them in quotes.. it would delete! Other mechanism is after typing: del ro you can press SHIFT+TAB(In LINUX its CTRL+TAB)... it would automatically write full name of the file... If more than one filename start with 'ro'.. you can keep pressing SHIFT+TAB... until your choice of file name is inserted there! And for removing a directory... its a simple command: rd/s DIR_NAME Tats it! And if it says file in use... then you have to restart the computer and keep pressing F8 key... until the various boot options come in... Select SAFEMODE and boot... i am sure.. you would be able to delete that file! REgards, Zooom...!!
oh my God I wish I had seen this thread earlier. This happens when permissions for a file get corrupted. Fixing this problem is very easy. You have to right-click the file. Go under Advanced -> Permissions and reset the permissions for your user (generally Administrator) to Full Control. Then you can delete the file.
yeah ... i suggested the same, but thro' cmd. prompt though ...... good that it finally got deleted ......
