folder where ur undeletable

file is Choose ‘All files’ from

the file type box click once

on the file u wanna delete

so its name appears in the

‘filename’ box put a ” at the

start and end of the

filename (the filename

should have the extension

of the undeletable file so it

will overwrite it) click save,

It should ask u to overwrite

the existing file, choose yes

and u can delete it as

normal Here’s a manual

way of doing it. I’ll take this

off once you put into your

first post zain. 1. Start 2.

Run 3. Type: command 4.

To move into a directory

type: cd c:\*** (The stars

stand for your folder) 5. If

you cannot access the

folder because it has spaces

for example Program Files

or Kazaa Lite folder you

have to do the following.

instead of typing in the full

folder name only take the

first 6 letters then put a ~

and then 1 without spaces.

Example: cd c:

\progra~1\kazaal~1 6. Once

your in the folder the non-

deletable file it in type in dir

– a list will come up with

everything inside. 7. Now

to delete the file type in del

***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc…

And if the file name has

spaces you would use the

special 1st 6 letters followed

by a ~ and a 1 rule.

Example: if your file name

was bad file.bmp you

would type once in the

specific folder thorugh

command, del

badfil~1.bmp and your file

should be gone. Make sure

to type in the correct

extension.
