Try copying one to another directory, then deleting the original.

make sure you don't have thumbnail view on, make sure nothing is running in system try, try reboot and then delete or safe mode

just do this
1. Open up regedit
2. Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler
3. Delete the "Default" value which should be "{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}"
Close regedit and try to delete the file now

i have the same prob when i try to delete some files. wat i do is, if it's in the shared folder, i go into klite, and delete the file in there. always works... and saves frustration... try it if u want to delete something...

just do the tweak with the registry and never worry about it again

Thinking about it now you could also try good old DOS lol :blink:
now off the top of ma head and not using dos for a year the command is
Del :PATH::FILENAME:
Man why DOS came in to my head is quite strange <_<

If that doesn't work I've just found a post on google which *might* help:
load kazaa.. go to My Kazaa *where you do integrity ratings and such* and deleted the file from there.
It sounds obvious but oh well :P

It says invalin paremeter evey time I try to do it with ccommand promt.

just check this out (save me copyin out the whole thing lol):Page (http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread/t-61095.html)
And look at this : A little remark on this one. As you can read here, it can be quite a hassle to find a way to delete such a file. There's one tool that help you out easily, if you know how to work it: DOS. Boot dos from a floppy/CDROMand delete the file :).
If that don't work (happened to me once), boot Knoppix (Linux that boots from a CDROM) and delete the file that way. Always worked fine for me, any problem solved within 10 minutes :)

HELLO?!?!? ANYONE EVER READ MY POSTS? if ur trying to delete something, put it in ur shared folder and delete it through kazaa. it works 100% of the time. TRY IT!!
sparsely
10-26-2003, 04:31 AM
you might try deleting it fromk inside kazaa.
It's supposed to work sometimes....I guess it's just a bug.
Good thing I don't use it :P

that's because of the cause of the error u got, of course u can't. This is an issue that can be resolved, if u still have the problem and willing to work with on resolving it, then I'll give u my commitment that we'll resolve it together. :)
