Can someone advise me on a problem I seem to be having with a mp3 file I downloaded last night. I believe that it is corrupt and it will not allow me to remove it and it doesn't allow me any of the usual options for removal; just the open, open with, send to, etc. but no delete function. I've tried all that I know to get it to the recycle bin. With that I'm starting to get worried as to whether I should conduct any business on the system. I need someone's help ASAP... I'd appreciate it.

Probably it is Windows that is trying to read the file for the preview.

Try this. Close any window and then press the start button and select "Run". Type cmd.

Type the path to the folder where is located the file. Then type del namefile where namefile is the name of the mp3 file you want to remove.

This should solve .

Greetings Guru...

Thank you for your response... I've tried the run>cmd> and I lost from there. Tried the folder name, but that was an error. Could you please instruct me more specifically about the path name. Forgive my ignorance, it's obvious I'm a Newbie... I'll keep tinkering until I hear back from you... I will also stay on line in case you become available for a chat regarding this...

Again; I appreciate you...

Guru...

I've tried the C:\my documents and settings\ etc. route if that is what your talking about as being the path of the file. The message I get is after entering all the info is "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Click Start->Run and put cmd in the box. Hit enter. Now you are at a consoloe window. Type

del "C:\Documents and Settings\Rich\Documents\My Music\Sample Music\deleteme.mp3"

With the quotes. Change the path and file name of course.
