i have a handful if files that i want to delete but all i'm getting is

wtf is up with that i know its not being used

so how do i go about and deleting 'em?

 

Well you could go into Windows "safe mode" and try deleting them from there. To do that hit F8 before you get to the windows start up screen and select the option "Safe mode". If you still cant delete the files I still have some other things you can do.

 

Chances are you can delete them after you restart next. Sometimes I get errors like that when trying to move mp3s around. Best thing to do is just remember it for later.

 

A sharing violation occurs when you have other programs that are either dependent on the particular file or are accessing the particular file at that specific time. Your best bet is to try rebooting your machine and see if it frees up the sharing violation. If not, boot the computer into safe mode by pressing F8 at startup. This loads the minimum amount of drivers and programs for Windows to run, which should leave the majority of your files free to be deleted. If this does not work, you will need to discern the dependencies of each running program, find the associated program, terminate it, and then delete away! If the files are virus related, you may have a more difficult time removing them than you may think. Let me know if you still need help and I'll do what I can.

 

YAY!!! it worked
