I have couple of files (games) that I would like to delete, but everytime I click to delete I get this.........

Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.

How do I get this to delete.

Try this little program.

I may have even gotten the site from here. It works ell, no extraneous stuff and it's free.

One thing I always do is run the full Error Checking on the drive, could be the files are corrupted and Windows doesn't know how to deal with them.

That Unlocker is a very neat little program and works good, thank you.

Berton......I do the error checking sometimes but it takes forever to run so I'm a little lazy on that deal....lol.
