Cant Remove file

Delete it in safe mode, then reboot. BTW, is there anything that shows up in Programs and features, that you should uninstall before deleting.

Open a command prompt with elevated privileges by right clicking cmd.exe and selecting "Run as Administrator."

At the prompt, type

Code:

cipher /w drive:\folder

substituting the drive letter and folder path for "drive" and "folder."

For example: To delete LargeVideoFile.exe in the C:\Video folder

Code:

cipher /w C:\Video\LargeVideoFile.exe

This operation overwrites the selected files with 1s, 0s and random characters. -WS

Hi shanefromoz
Just a thought while you are waiting for a reply from MS. You don't say in this thread what the file is named, I presume it is an exe file? How about renaming it and then trying to delete, you could try changing the file extension if renaming doesn't work! Worth a try.

That is great!

Try my post #15 it worked for me once!
