RE: Cannot delete 0 b file on desk top

something must have a tie on that file.

You can download process explorer from sysinternals.

Once installed you can click at the top find handle, type in the filename of
the file and see what has a hold on it. Kill the process and then you should
be able to delete it.

Help appreciated, John.
