deleting a partial download

[theHNIC]

I have a file on my computer that I partially downloaded from MIRC, the problem is, I am trying to delete but its not allowing me to. Is there any way around this that would allow me to delete it.

Do you have mirc still running? Try restarting your computer and deleting that. If that doesn't work, put a del in the autoexec.bat. That usually works for me.

Yeah, exit out of mirc completely and you should be able to delete it.

I have tried that from a fresh restart and yet it still doesnt delete.

change the properties of the file, it's probably set to archive, so it won't delete...

maybe?

try just click and drag it to the trash bin. it seems to work for me when i cant delete stuff

Isn't this a bug with windows XP? I can usually delete stuff from within Nero.

[spigidygak]

or delete it from command prompt.

Thanks all, I got it deleted, it was something running in my task manager called rdpclip.exe (don't know what it is, though). I ended the process on it and I was able to delete it.
