These (sometimes) undeletable bogus jpeg files are littered throughout the gnutella network and, I can only presume, put there for some no-good reason.

I suspect that these false files may contain viruses or or some sort of dangerous script, I remember that a year or two ago there was a lot of internet security news about false jpeg files containing viruses.

Anyway, in most cases you can use LW's library delete function to get rid of these files or you can use your shredding facility.

Finally, whenever you download one of these files then make sure you run your AV and anti-spyware before and after you delete them.
