Jump to PostUsually when a file is in use and you're using a p2p prog, some one else is trying to d/l it off of you. But yeah, rebooting into safe mode works most of the time when trying to delete a file.
Jump to Postjust renooting windows will do it for most .inuse usually means it still in memory from when you opened it to view it ,
Jump to PostHad the same problem with Mr. and Mrs. Smith.avi, so I created a new account on XP, booted up in safe mode, and that junk-ass file still won't delete. It's evil. :twisted:
Anyone else know? I even tried deleting it thru DOS, but the damn thing still wouldn't leave.
Frustrated. …
Jump to PostAlso try this program.
