Default Cannot delete a file

Hi, My name is Richard, I'm a 67 year old male who loves Easy Listening music and lives in Western NY State. My OS is Vista Home Premium. I only have incurred one small problem recently. I downloaded a song, it said it completed but won't play. When I go to delete it, it says "The following files could not be deleted. They may be in use by another application or are currently being downloaded to." I'm stuck. How do I get rid of this dead file? I've had LimeWire for about 6 months now and never had this problem. I would greatly appreciate some help.

try rebooting and then immediately delete the file...if that fails boot into safe mode and delete...if that fails then search this forum for you issue and there will be a couple of programs listed that will deal with this problem with more extreme measures....most likely your media player is simply locked up and rebooting will solve your issue
