| Cannot delete/move/rename a file Background -- unzipped a file using WinRAR but rcv'd message during process stating that I was missing a file. File went ahead and uncompressed but apprarently not fully. Cannot play file (video clip) as program says it is unrecognizable. Only thing I can figure was that since file wasn't successfully uncompressed, Windows doesn't see it as a valid file. Tried deleting in SafeMode as well doing a search of Registry (didn't find it). Need help! File is over 300mb. Pls don't tell me I have to re-format drive! Thx. |

| RE: Cannot delete/move/rename a file - problem solved. All, I should have done a search before creating this post -- my bad. Anyway, after doing a search, I found one response pointing to the KillBox program. After trying it, it worked!!! Thanks anyway.
