Here's a manual
way of doing it. I'll take this off once you put into your first post zain.
1. Start
2. Run
3. Type: command
4. To move into a
directory type: cd c:\*** (The stars stand for your folder)
5. If you cannot
access the folder because it has spaces for example Program Files or Kazaa Lite
folder you have to do the following. instead of typing in the full folder name
only take the first 6 letters then put a ~ and then 1 without spaces. Example:
cd c:\progra~1\kazaal~1
6. Once your in
the folder the non-deletable file it in type in dir - a list will come up with
everything inside.
7. Now to delete
the file type in del ***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc... And if the file name has
spaces you would use the special 1st 6 letters followed by a ~ and a 1 rule.
Example: if your file name was bad file.bmp you would type once in the specific
folder thorugh command, del badfil~1.bmp and your file should be gone. Make
sure to type in the correct extension.
