I have a file on the desktop I would like to delete but it comes up with an error message..?

Title: Error deleting file or folder
Content: Cannot read from source file or disk


wtf do I do?

Thanks.

Can you open it? The file may have already been deleted and the desktop just hasn't refreshed yet.

 

[santaslayer]

Yes, I can open it.


EDIT: Wait, I refreshed it and it's gone...Yayy!...Thanks.

BTW, why is my desktop so slow @ refreshing?

U can delete any file through command window. Start command window then type: del <filepath+name+extension> then press enter. It should delete it.

.....and so does clicking on it and pressing delete, which is what I think we've done here.

this doesn't work for a lot of files any more since windows stopped using real DOS
that's just a shell which most of time doesn't do most of the things which good old DOS does really well

I knu that...but I remember downloading corrupted files from LimeWire which showed it's DL size to be a few megs but when u try to open it it doesn't open and the file size is 0. You can't delete those files no matter how you try it.....except through command window.

Anyway, thanks to you and to sunny.
