deleting mpeg file

Hello,
I have several mpeg files that I cannot delete from my
computer. They are in a "sample music" "from internet"
file in Documents and Settings. When I try to delete
them the message comes up that "this file cannot be
deleted. Acces is denied. Check to see if full or write
protected or currently in use"
I have tried any number of ways to delete them including
rebooting, using an eraser, etc.
Any ideas. It makes me crazy.

I seem to remember someone suggesting that you
check in Windows Media Player and remove the file
from the playlist, then try to delete it.
