I have a 4GB video file that I download from my DV
camera. I want to delete a file (in fact I don't know
how it got saved on my c drive, I saved it on another
partition...it is actually under a yahoo attachment
folder under my documents & settings...etc.). Anyway,
when I go to delete it, it won't delete. It says that
the file is in use by another program.

I have tried restarting, safe mode, closing services and
running Norton System Works (disk doctor, etc). Any
ideas out there would be very appreciated.

Thank you.
