Error message: Cannot delete file: Cannot read from source or file
Why does noone understand...my computer CANNOT FIND these
files, and therefore CANNOT ACCESS THEM!! -----Original Message----- -----Original Message----- I have some rather large files that I cannot delete because I keep getting the above error message. The files were created by Norton Utilities in the directory c:/recycler/nprotect. One of them is over 1.8 gb Symantec was no help, they recomended renaming the 'recycler' file then deleting the entire newly named file. The overlooked the fact that 'recycler' was not the 'lost' file. Gateway tried to delete the files through the use of safemode, but going in through safemode did not 'find' the files. What I don't understand is how a file that is sitting in a folder that I am looking at is somehow 'not found' Did I mention 1.8 gb?!? Any hepl would be great!! . If you have windows XP Pro version, then right click that file or folder, select properties, then security tab, then change the access permissions to full allow for your user profile and for the system. . |

Very simply; because we don't use Nortons trash.
