Very wierd undeleteable file(s) !!!!

[Ko]

Hi,

I am not sure whether this is a correct place to ask this quetion. If
not, plesase tell me where should I ask. ^^

I have certain folders and files which can't be deleted or moved. If I
tried to do either delete or move operations, it will give me a message
saying "Access Denied .." Note that these folders/files are not used by any
program at all. Another file that found in my desktop is another wierd file
which cannot be deleted or moved as well. There is no physical byte for that
file. When I tried to open it, XP said the file is not existed, but I still
could see in the destop. I did try in the DOS mode, and I couldn't edit,
execute, .... the file. It's not either hidden file or something, but I could
see it if I type dir/a .

Thanks in advance.

Using Unlocker
--------------

How often have you tried to delete or rename a file or folder and got
"Cannot delete xxx: It is being used by another person or program." ?

Unlocker is a tool which will help you removing this scandaleous Windows
bug.

Simply right click the file or folder and select Unlocker. If the file
or folder is locked then a window will appear with a list of processes
locking the file or folder. Select the locks and click Unlock and you
are done.

It is recommended to Unlock wisely and to close open processes locking
files or folder if any, but if only Explorer.exe is the culprit, do not
hesitate ! :D
