I download TV shows using bittorrent, but after I watch them and want to delete them from my download folder, they don't move to the recycle bin. It seems to be mostly mkv files that I can't delete. What can I do?

In some cases it does, but I'll remove it from the torrent client, and try and I'll get what I get in the pic I posted. In that pic it doesn't tell me its being used by another program, it just does what I posted and does nothing, I could leave it like that for like half hour and nothing changes.

try to deleted without sending to recycle bin (shift+del).. if they are in use, this will prob give u a more specific error

I just tried that and nothing happens. It just sits at, deleting downloads at 0%.

I can't do that anymore, because I have already removed it from the bittorrent client. Now I want to remove the media files from my downloads folder in Windows 8

Ahh, a polite suggestion that you lose the pictures and description..

The forum rules pretty much make your thread a spanking offense..

Also, try deleting the folder/files from the command line.

not sure how to do that from the command line

I'd remove your screenshot if you don't want the thread closed

Turn off the preview pane. I am tech support where I work and one guy has Windows 8 and called me every day for a week trying to delete things. turns out preview pane was holding onto a lock on the files that prevented deletion. I have never used it so I didn't think to check for it. I can't say for certain that it will fix your issue but it's a place to start.

    • Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)
    • I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
