I have a file that has been downloaded onto my PC, it will now allow me to
delete it.

Message - check whether file is protected or in use by another user (which
it is not).

How can I delete this file??

Hi Philip,

Open a command prompt in the directory of the troublesome files, open
task manager and from it close windows explorer.

Now delete the files from the command prompt using del
name_of_file.file_extension

Go to task manager, and in 'New Task' enter explorer.exe.

Good luck
