They are mostly in ".mp4" & ".mkv" format. These files cannot be renamed also. I recieve the below message when I try to delete these files: "THE ACTION CANNOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE THE FILE IS OPEN IN WINDOWS EXPLORER.CLOSE & TRY AGAIN" What is causing this problem & how to fix it? Looking forward to your response. Thanks :) Hi, I cannot delete certain files in Windows 7. They are mostly in “.mp4″ & “.mkv” format. These files cannot be renamed also.

I want to keep the (x86) one. I ran your program Add Take Ownership Option and it works till I get to a screen that says, I cant do that because that program is being used by an other program. I see the computer is looking at the other C:program files (x86) folder. Is there still a way to remove the first folder or am i stuck with both ?. Thanks from TOM.

Copied all the files he wanted to another directory. Restarted in safe mode with command prompt. The used dos commands.... cd users cd username (eg. cd Retro) cd desktop I'm now in the following directory.. c:\users\retro\desktop then type.... del *.* This will delete everything in the directory :) Restart windows normally & then copy your desktop items back to your desktop. Have fun!!!! Retro :) Had a friend who couldn’t delete a file off the desktop. Copied all the files he wanted to another directory. Restarted in safe mode with command prompt. The used dos commands….
