can't delete video file

[Kevin]

I can't delete vodeo clips from my computer. I've made
sure that I was logged on as administrator, and I've
tried from the safe mode, no luck!! Any suggestions
would be great, thank you.

Hi Kevin,

Open the media player and delete the files from the playlists, then try
deleting the actual file.

>Thanks for the advice, unfortunately no luck yet. The
video clips are for my Pinnacle video software, I can't
delete the clips from that playlist, it just won't let me
for some reason. These 5 files seem indestructable, I
can't even move them from the folder they are in. Do you
know of any "bugs" that XP has when it comes to video
files?

Hi Kevin,

Have you checked that they are not still linked to your video software?

Hi Kevin have you tried holding the shift key as you drag the file to
the bin. Theres a bug in XP that doesnt let you delete large avi
(divx) files.
