[dba-Tech] Stubborn file won't go away

Kathryn,

Another possible work-around...

Restore the folder.  Right-click Recycle Bin, and then click Properties.
Click to select the Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files
immediately when deleted check box, and then click OK.

...then try your method of going to safe mode and deleting.



Mark

Just a thought but could you recover it from Recycle Bin then boot with a
DOS disk and delete it?

and ran 3 tasks using the utility:
-Registry defrager and optimizer
-System cleaner and optimizer
-Registry cleaner and fixer

That didn't make a difference for this either.
