 Posted: 05/08/06 - 04:00 Post subject: Cannot Delete File On Desktop |
 |
|
There are some unplayable WAV files on my desktop, and I can't delete them! When I try, I get an "Access Denied" message, and it doesn't work. The same thing happens when I try to move them or pull them to the Recycle Bin. I don't know why I save stuff to desktop anyway, but now I can't even clear it out. Can anyone help?

Most likely your files are still being used by some background process, and that's why the system won't let you delete them. You should be able to do it after you restart. If you still can't, try restarting in safe mode (press and hold F8 at startup until the load menu appears) and then deleting. Alternatively, you might need to uncheck the "read-only" attribute in the file properties (right click the .wav, choose properties).
