afternoon
i ran a search on a program i uninstalled and found over a hundred files
, well i tried to delete them and it will not delete more than one at a time.
when i try to delete two or more i get "cannot delete file : cannot read
from the
source file".
are there anything i can do or just delete one at a time?
thanks much

Where are all these leftover files located? Can you just delete the
directory holding them?

hi larry,
one file cannot be deleted ,will terminate the whole process of deleting
group of files so,
i suggest to delete them in groups ,if y have 20 file try to delete them 5
by 5 to know the exact file that cause the message.
after u know it try to close the programe that open it and try to delete it,
or if u have another operating system,restart the computer and choose it
then try to delete that file

i hope this will be useful
