Hahahahahaha, the indestructable porn jpeg

Can you drag it the recycle bin?

Sounds like you need Cillit Bang....er Unlocker even.

 

[collisster]

I've downloaded that unlocker how do you use it?

 

[MarcLister]

Install it then right-click on the file you want removed and in the context menu should be an Unlocker feature. Click on that and you'll get a window appearing telling you what other program has "locked" that file and you can unlock them.

Or if you look at the Unlocker site again there is a graphical version of what I've just said.

 

[collisster]

ok thanks I'll give it a go

 

[collisster]

I gave it a go and unlock or unlocker isn't in the menu it is when I click on different files tho

Have you tried booting in safe mode then deleting it?

 

[collisster]

erm nope whats the F for safe mode again?

F8 when booting

 

[collisster]

ok thanks will give it a go

 

[collisster]

F8 just brought up the boot devices menu

I gave it a go and unlock or unlocker isn't in the menu it is when I click on different files tho

When you installed it did you check that the context menu option was ticked? If it wasn't then it won't install that function into Windows.

You'll have to hit it after it's out of the BIOS and when it's busy booting Windows.

 

[collisster]

ok

try moveonboot

 

[collisster]

oo
lads I'm back
and I've fixed it heres what i did :
I copied all of the audio files in that folder into another one
deleted the whole folder and the pictues went with it
emptied the recycle bin
added that copied tracks back into itunes
made itunes show up duplicates and I started the long process of finding all of the "gone rotten" files and deleting them out of my library

I think its worked =D

Does unlocker use up resources on the PC when it isn't unlocking?

 

[MarcLister]

I'm not absolutely sure but I think it only runs when you right-click on a file and choose the Unlocker option. It then closes I think when you've unlocked the file.
