I stupidly left some winME files on my system when I upgraded to WIN2000 and changed to NTFS. Now I can't delete the damned thing. Does anyone have any tips on how to get ride of these old files? I did not create a dual boot system as the way I am useing this pute it was better not to.

I actually can't locate the file. Win 2000 doen't really see it. Even if you click the file it does even show a path on the short cut. When you do a file search it doesn't show up either. Under the command prompt you can't find it either.
Thanks for the suggestion, if you have any more ideas please help.
