When I hit delete, the hourglass appears for a second, but nothing happens. Cannot drag to the recycle bin. I cannot move it anywhere, it won't move. I right click and only get "play in winamp...open...send to.." Downloaded Unlocker Assistant, that didn't work, it's not locked. I ran all my spyware cleaners and ran a virus sweep, just in case there was something causing it not to delete. I cannot rename the file either, no matter which way you try. I also ran Crapcleaner. What else can I try??? Thanks!

If this is in Windows Explorer: its a known issue that Explorer sometimes refuses to delete.If all else fails and the Harddrive is
FAT32, you can create a dos bootdisk, then boot in DOS and erase it.
I take it you've already rebooted several times?

Delete it in safemode and make sure you delete all associated files in safe mode. Safe mode without network support.

by right clicking on the file try editing the properties attributes. It could be read only or locked.
