Here’s a manual way of doin’ it. I’ll take this off once you put into your first post zain.

1. Start
2. Run
3. Type: command
4. To move into a directory type: cd c:*** (The stars stand for your folder)
5. If you cannot access de folder because it has spaces for example Program Files or Kazaa Lite folder you have to do de followin’. instead of typin’ in de full folder name only take de first 6 letters den put a ~ and den 1 without spaces. Example: cd c:progra~1kazaal~1
6. Once your in de folder de non-deletable file it in type in dir - a list will come up with everythin’ inside.
7. Now to delete de file type in del ***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc… And if de file name has spaces you would use de special 1st 6 letters followed by a ~ and a 1 rule. Example: if your file name was bad file.bmp you would type once in de specific folder thorugh command, del badfil~1.bmp and your file should be gone. Make sure to type in de correct extension.
