File That Won't Delete!
 

I have an mpeg file that just won't delete! System keeps saying it's being used by another program but it ain't.

Any answers? ( widdout the wisecracks )

reformat

restart

maybe it's in use?

try now I'm done watching it

Shell out to dos, move to that directory and type

del whatever.mpg < enter > and allllll gone

actually is del *.* /q /s /f

NO but it is NOT sexyclicks... he wants to delete ONE file... not everything IN that directory!

*.* deletes EVERYthing in the directory you are in.

He wants to delete ONE mpg... so:

(whateverFILE-NAME).mpg deletes WHAT he wants.

Sheesh. I was working in dos when it was still a decimal. lmao

version 0.2 I think it was. ;-)

I agree you prob need to reboot

reboot

reboot doesn't always work... sometimes windows just gets it in it's head that a file is in use and that's all there is to it. in that case, follow gemini's advice.

long live the command line.

sue the fuck out of the mpeg file!!!!
