Re: Cannot Delete A File

Hello,

what will happen if you try running the cmd.exe as Administrator and delete
the file there by
del Filename
?
If it doesn't work, try killing explorer.exe in the Task Manager and try
deleting the file again by cmd.exe (works for me very often).

Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo
