Thanks to all for the helpful suggestions. I have had (a measure of)
success in that the two .mov files are deleted, but, not in an elegant sort
of way. I ended up uninstalling, through the Control Panel, both the
Quicktime and Real players. These were the two apps that played the .mov
files as far as I know. Once these players were uninstalled, the two files
displayed icons which seemed to indicate the Media Player. At this point
they both were deleted easily by the usual right click selection on each file
icon. I am grateful to all of you who took the time to respond to my initial
question and were patient with detailed explanations. I'm sure it was my
inexpertise that prevented me from successfully implementing your
suggestions. ~~~~Bob
