Comment: Hey there chaps, Sorry to burdent he forums with another file wont delete question, but of all the other posts i didnt find an answer. I have a file on my desktop which i downloaded believing to be kazaalite234 the p2p program. This file it seems is not that at all and though hasent done any harm (as far as i can tell) the damn thing wont be deleted. Its telling me it is being used by another person or program. Here's what ive done so far: Rebooted and deleted, no such luck, Ran AVG, it found nothing, Ran SPYBOT S&D, it found nothing. I used Tritafile to try and remove it but the program crashed....... It seems this file just doesnt want to budge. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Daniel

Reply: (edit)Jennifer, do not shush! In fact, I was surprised you did not suggest trying to remove it while in the safe mode, but Tufenuf's method will work quite nicely.
