Come on guys i need 2 remove this file urgently.......

Moral of the story...

Don't download porn from limewire unless you know what you're doing!

You could always try restarting the computer then deleting the folder the video is in (don't open the folder after restarting, just delete). That usualy works for things like that, if there are other things in the folder you want to keep move them out before restarting.

How do i use the cmd u get rid of the file?

When you're typing into the Command Prompt, are you using the same quality of english that you use in your posts? That's more than likely to be your problem.

If you can't remove the file through CLI, then the Unlocker app linked previously will work.

Out of interest, what's it saying when you try to delete it?

I had a problem a while ago with a picture file that wasn't deleting because Windows was caching it and not allowing me to delete the picture as that would (presumably) muff the cache up.

It couldn't be something else could it? Is it definitely a movie file? Because I know people like to put trojans, viruses and all sorts of nasty stuff on it....

there's a really nifty freeware program called move-on-boot that might (read: should) work.

So it's on your desktop? Can you not move it to a folder (unlikely, but maybe.?)?

For the umpteenth time in this thread - Try Unlocker

He'll take note eventually...

KRU Shotgun · 3 Jun 2008 at 09:37

Ok DL UNOCKER & i got the icon sitting in the task bar.... How do u open it or RUN it?

MarcLister · 3 Jun 2008 at 10:27

Right click on an offending file and you should have an entry in the menu for Unlocker.

I've had files like this before, they were easy enough to remove.

Take everything out of the folder with the file in, and then delete the folder.

Have you considered that this 'offending' file might be part of a virus or some spyware? if you downloaded the file using limewire then this is entirely possible.

Run a virus/spyware scanner - e.g. Adaware and check.

Moral of the story - dont use limewire!! - torrents at a push, newsgroups is where its at.

I don't think he would know how to do this as he's not sure how to work command prompt.

Unlocker should fix everything.

ok might sound silly but i made similar mistake awhile back!!
have you stopped the file you downloaded from uploading? delete it within limewire?, usually an option to remove from limewire and remove/delete data and file.
i had an avi i got from fake axxo (grrr) didnt play or do anything and had same problem but it was still uploading in bittorrent, soon as i stopped it i could carry on .
