Before i delete my file.
After i try to delete the file.
Anyone know what is going on?
Only some of the files facing this problem as i can delete most of my files.
Welcome!
First off, what files are you trying to delete? Could they be in use or protected?
Second, have you tried rebooting yet? Sometimes that will fix the problem.
Hope this helps,

I recommend using this utility called "Unlocker". It seems to work the best when you have this issue, and 80% of the time, it doesn't even require you to restart.

I try to delete my movie(.rmvb). I have reboot my laptop for times..
yet still facing this problem.
Sometime when i try to delete huge size of file like 1.5GB, it can be deleted but take some times if compare to window vista.
Is that the compatible problem with my hdd?
Im using western digital scorpio blue 500GB with window 7 professional.
Are you trying to "Delete to Recycle Bin" or are your doing a "Hard Delete" on the file?
If you're Deleting to the Recycle Bin, try to "Hard Delete" the file.
- Select the file (Single Click it)
- Press & hold Left Shift, and press "Delete" on your keyboard.
- Click Yes/OK
If it's a No-Go, try the Unlocker Utility.
Im trying to search for the unlocket utility.
Because i try to use the DEL in CMD. it hang over there.
try Left Shift + Delete, same problem occured, it calculating.
Thinking that it could possible be a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) issue internally, I think you should run the System File Checker.
- Click your Start Orb
- Type the letters "cmd" into your Start Search
- When you see the CMD icon, Press and Hold Ctrl + Shift, and Click the CMD icon
- Holding CTRL + Shift and Clicking an icon will open it as Administrator
- Type in the following: sfc /scannow
- Press {Enter} and let it check your system files
- This may take Hours to complete
- Restart your computer, then try again.
If the problem still exists, your Copy of Windows might be "pooched" metaphorically speaking.
Thanks all for the help.
I manage to delete the file using ProXic method.
After a scan and i restart my laptop, i can delete my file.
Thanks ProXic.
You're very welcome. Glad to help.
Hope all is well. :)
