Thread Solved |
Hi,
I have an MOV file on my USB key that won't delete. Every time I try to delete is says its being used by another program, but nothing is running the video. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Shift + Delete???
Do you need that MOV file???
Otherwise, copy everything off your USB and reformat it.... start fresh.

I had tried reformatting but had the same result. Someone at work suggested I leave the key plugged into the computer and reboot, then delete it right away. This worked like a charm. Thanks for the support.
