Under:

C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\Impostazioni locali\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\N3JGPQHL

I can't delete a file named something like
1604104820@Top,Bottom,HalfBanner.... Why?

I can't delete it because even if I click on "Delete" from the menu "File"
nothing happens! I can't rename it because nothing happens, I can't move it
because nothing happens.. why? I tried to remove from MS-DOS console but I
coundn't.

Any idea?

- What is the full file name?
- What happens when you try to delete the file from a Command Prompt?
- What happens when you delete the file with its Short File Name?

To see the Short File Name, type this command:
dir /x "C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\Impostazioni locali\Temporary
Internet Files\Content.IE5\N3JGPQHL\1604*.*"
 
- What is the full file name?

short name: 160410~1
ext name:

The combined path + file name may be too long. Try this:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type these commands and press {Enter} each time:
subst X: "C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\Impostazioni
locali\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\" {Enter}
X: {Enter}
cd N3JGPQHL{Enter}
del 160410~1{Enter}

This should fix the problem.

Maybe you mean cd X ?
cd N3JGPQHL{Enter}
del 160410~1{Enter}
Click to expand...

Already tried without success!

- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
It says it's impossible to find this path! :-O
*** No, I did mean X: {Enter}
*** It is essential that you delete the file while on drive X:!

If the path does not exist then the preceding "subst" command
failed. Here it is again - it is one single long line!

subst X: "C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\Impostazioni
locali\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\" {Enter}
 
failed. Here it is again - it is one single long line!

You're right: I renamed the prev subfolders to single char so the total
number of chars is lower.. and now I can delete it, good!

Thank you so much,
