Default Norton Commander

Cannot delete numanuma.mp3:Cannot find specified file

I kept Norton Commader, a DOS program from Peter Norton (before Symantec bought him out), which lets me get rid of lots of things that windows xp refuses to delete and it works from within windows in ordinary or (if necessary) safe mode. It is called NC.exe. I kept it on a bootable floppy for checking out PCs at auctions and for helping other people with problem PCs. I put it on all my computers.

Help.........my son downloaded a very raunchy file and I cannot delete it. It is an mpeg file, but it does not run. I cannot change the file name. If I right-click, in only get options such as play, burn to cd, add to play list, etc. I downloaded unlocker and it does not come up in the menu when I right-click. It does come up in other files that I don't want to delete.

I have tried other programs today to get it deleted, but nothing works. I tried to go to safe mode, but it would not delete that way either. Several other files did, others I found by searching on certain words, so I found other stuff also. But I am stumped.

It wouldn't be so bad if I could at least change the file name, but that won't work. Help!

Did you try the DelinvFile thing (see the ask-leo link in LOTR's original post)?
That worked for me once, when Unlocker didn't.

Thumbs up Thank you very much Lord of the rings- I DELETED my file

I started with the last solution you had and then went to the top. Ask Leo was the only one that worked for my situation. All the other programs I tried said 'file not valid' when I tried to delete my file. Here are the options I tried before I finally got rid of my file.
First I tried to right click but I could not get a Delete nor a Rename to pop up.
Then I tried to drop and drag to the recycle bin but absolutely nothing happened there.
That’s when I started to download programs and the only one out of 4 that worked was this one- http://www.purgeie.com/delinv/index.htm
The third one in Lord Of The Rings List about Ask Leo worked for me.

Thank you very very much.

Angry Everything else does not work

I have a mpg file. Several actually. Which all have been deleted. However, I go to Search under the START Tab on the vista. It displays some of the mpg's that have been deleted. I go to delete them, it says " This is no longer located in *******. Verify the items location and try again. WHich they all say that. I have tried the "unlocker". Alot of shortcut fix programs. Registry fix programs. History deleters. EVERYTHING. Im getting tired of it saying its not there, when there it is on my screen, its there. So obviously the computer is stupid?

Default cant dele file mpeg lime wire help deleteing files no delete menu left click

help for downloaded a Windows Media file that must have some protection on it. When I right click I don't get the option to rename or delete the file. I can't move the file to Recycle Bin or anything.

Ok this program http://www.purgeie.com/delinv/dldelinv.htm can remove the issue, many questions I know will try to help, and this program is shareware trial it read DOS just like the old days, if you go to the run command form the start menu. Click on run and type command the box will come up. From there you can go to the directory which has the file you cannot delete, put you have to use dos commands like..... (change directory= cd) cd c:\the name...\....\.. If you have trouble use the above link to you the program that will open the directory without typing it all in you can use the mouse and click through it.

you can type in on the web and look for dos help,

the bottom line is that window can not delete the file because of a funny charactor like= *#thth.exe or t(funny charactor)ime.mpg once in dos you will see the charactor

hope this helps also to get out of the command run box type in exit and hit the enter key .....
