Default undeletable?

I have a file that i have a good suspicion isnt meant to be there. it was a
DLL. I tried deleting, it said "Access is denied" I tried deting through DOS
and even dos couldn't get "Access." I changed it to a text file fine. I tried
cutting it to a floppy but it only copied. I tied opening it as a text file,
deleting its insides and saving but it "couldnt find the file or directory
specified." It should not be there. Any ideas?

Default undeletable?

Use with care, I've used the first one personally which solved my own problems.

Utility for Deleting Invalid Files
http://www.purgeie.com/delinv.htm
For invalid/UNC file/folder name deleting, rather than the in use problem

Locked Files Wizard formerly CopyLock is a simple assistant that allows you to
replace, to move, to delete and to rename one or more files or folders which are in
use by the system or any other process.
CopyLock is a small program that allows replacing, moving, renaming or deleting one
or many files which are currently in use (e.g. system files like comctl32.dll, or
virus/trojan files.)
