I am trying to clean up some files on our HD and have run across some files
that were stored in old user profiles that I cannot delete. Some of these
files are in the "Temporary Internet Files" folders. I have no idea why I
would not be able to delete them. I can't even right click to get the
properties. It simply tells me 'Properties not available for this item." In
each case, the filenames are absolutely huge...

What is the best way to remove file like this?

Thanks,

Brad
