HOW to Delete blank torrent file from desktop


HOW to Delete blank torrent file from desktop
I downloaded a torrent file off of a website and it created the actual
file that I used to download the file I wanted, but it also created this
blank file on my desktop.

There is a file name "[TorrentReactor.to] - [prv net pl] STOYA Katsumi
Katsuni Video Nasty 4.torrent " on my windows vista 64 business
computer. When I try to delete it, I get a message that says:

"Could not find this item"

This is no longer located in *** Verify the item's location and try
again.

The file is 0 bytes, and any attempt to move it from my desktop or to
delete it brings up an error that says that the item could not be found.
It says I need to verify the item's location and try again. I cannot
rename the file or edit it in any way.

How do I get rid of this blank file?

I thought that the reason I couldn't delete the blank file was because
I had already deleted the actual torrent file (the one used to start
downloading the torrent in my torrent client).

Well, this wasn't the case, as I re downloaded the torrent file and
attempted to delete the blank file. When I drag the blank file to the
recycle bin, it doesn't go anywhere, but the actual torrent file (the
one used to start the download) gets deleted instead (even though I did
nothing to it!)

This is the third party program i had try

Chkdsk GUI - never solve
Unlocker - not support
Emco Move On Boot - can't deleted
UnlockIt - can't deleted
FreeFile - can't deleted

Also Command Prompt

cmd

In the command window:

del C:\Users\Eyecan~1\Desktop\[Torre~1

Re: HOW to Delete blank torrent file from desktop


I had a similar problem, but was able to figure it out with some
searching. The steps listed 'Here'
(http://www.computing.net/answers/win...file/3275.html)
worked for me.

Good luck.
