Deleting files (again)

Comment:

this is a revival of a post of mine, Jan 2007 (158920) I used unlocker for removing "locked" files. It was fine Now I have around 15 directories, directly in c;\, 55 MB each, long and strange names (1b5000e8793.......). I try to delete them, which is not allowed by XP, then unlocker is invoked, and I mark each of them for deletion at next boot time, but they persist. Using systernals (PendMoves) I see they are in the list for next-boot-actions. Using MoveFile (to ""), they equally persist. What can I do? thanks thanks santiago
