Can't delete part downloaded mp3 file
1 Answers
I have partly downloaded an mp3 file and now I can't delete it. Windows says it's in use by another program, but it isn't. I only use Windows Media Player and that's completely shutdown. I've even uninstalled WinMX, the program I used to download the mp3 and still I cant delete it. Can anyone help please?

Locate the file, drag it to the root of your C drive, i.e open drive C and drag it there, don't put it into a folder. If the file has a name longer than 8 characters, rename it, highlight the file, right click and rename to 8 or less.
Go to start, programs. ms-dos prompt.
If you see C:\windows, type in cd\ and press enter.
Type the following: del file name, eg del fred.mp3 and press enter. This should delete the file.
