Try deleting the file in Safe Mode (tap f8 repeatedly when starting your computer). That should do it :wink:

i get that a lot with xp when playing an mp3 then trying to move the folder, says its in use, but it does actually move it, but leaves a copy of the folder where it was........normally just leaving it a couple of mins or in the worst case rebooting, solves it
