Default How to force delete a file?
I have a file on my computer that I want to get rid of. The computer keeps acting like it's open in another program. This is bullshit, it's not. How do I bypass this protocol and delete it manually?

It was from a folder that I downloaded. I moved some stuff from the folder to out of it, and then deleted the folder and every file except this one.

Have you tried opening a DOS box and deleting it using the command line?

If you don't find any other way, boot into another operating system like Linux and delete its there.

I know this sounds stupid, but why not try restarting the computer? That way, all processes that might be using the file would be stopped.








Please feel free to PM me if you need any sort of help around Teen Forumz. I will happily assist you.
