Vista - Unable to delete a file in Vista Premimun Home

12-07-2007

Several messages from Microsoft Mail have shown up as files on my c drive
and I have been unable to delete them. When I right click on them, delete is
not an option in the new widow. When I highlight the file and click delete
there is no response. Where should I look for help?

Hi FP,

Are you not able to delete them from within Windows Mail? If not, then read the "First" section in this tutorial about antivirus programs to help prevent this from happening again, then install the KB941090 Microsoft Update in the "Second" section to fix the stuck message problem.

If this not the issue, then try to take ownership of the files first. Now try and delete them. This tutorial will show you how to take ownership of a item.
