Re: DELETING FILES

Kent,

I will copy/paste a response that i posted yesterday:

Open up a command prompt window (Start/Run CMD) and type DEL and put a space after that. Now, drag
the specific file to the command prompt window and release it. Go back to the explorer window and
unselect the file. Flip back to the command prompt window and hit ENTER. The file should now get
deleted. Personally, this method works for me 99% of the times.

Hope this helps.
