Hi - A while ago i downloaded a file that didnt download properly and now no matter how i try it wont delete. It has gone to my music flle and i have downloaded an " unlocker" and tried loads of different ways to delete this file to no avail. It just wont delete.

I regulary do virus scans which show up nothing........
My connection speed is 56k
I have windows XP
I have tried to delete in safe mode (F8) to no avail

Please help if you can
many thanx

Have you run an AV scan recently? I can't really find any other solutions apart from what I gave you before. If all these tools aren't working, maybe you have a virus? Been downloading any program files recently?

Someone else might come along & have more ideas. But for now, I'd do an AV scan & maybe spyware & adware scans, too. Here's a thread about virus probs:

See how you go with this, sorry I don't have more answers

thanx but was is a AV scan? soz that prob sounds really silly but i dont know too much about computers.
i do virus scans though every week and nothing ever comes up on them?
i have just re stored my system to an earlier date to see if that will work xx

AV is just anti virus

See how system restore goes...
