I have a problem. Any suggestions are welcomed.
I was downloading a file which was almost complete and the last few bits were taking forever so I copied the dat file to a different folder and renamed it as avi.
(i didn't however change anything about the actuall name of the file which is a bunch of numbers)
It seems however that the file hadn't downloaded the indexing component so i was only able to view it via avi preview.
Meanwhile I had completed downloading the original file.
Now in order to free disk space I tried deleting the copied renamed dat file and received an error deleting file message another program might be using it.
I tried all possibilites : closed all programs, disconnected my internet, burned and deleted the original completed file, restarted my computer, Nothing works.
I am unable to do anything with this file except view it through avi preview.
Cant move it, delete, or rename it.
Please help as I am a sharer with a small hard drive and this is taking up useful space.
Thanks a lot
