0 Express Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Try if Movefile from sysinternals works. You will have to reboot your system after you run movefiles.

0 ahmz Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 LOL must be new to Vista, forgot to blur out the status bar. Use Unlocker like Jonny posted, works every time.

0 tazzeh Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Have you tried using Unlocker? It severs all the processes linking to the file you're trying to delete. Free too! Got me out of a couple of irritating situations now and then. Edit: Bah, took too long.

0 Pupik Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 See that green progress bar in the address bar? That means that Vista reading current directories to fetch thumbnails and other small info from the files. Probably that's the reason you can't delete the files (and lol at those filenames :D ). Try to log-off your current user and delete them after login.
