Hi: I am trying to delte a file that was copied from the web into a Frontpage website. I am trying to delete it using Windows Explorer and Frontpage but I can't get rid of it. It was associated originally with an Amazon.com web component (their honor system tipping area for blogs). This created a jpg file. When I try to delete it, windows says "windows can not find the file." However, I can see it there and can't kill it. It's screwing up a number of things. I also can not even delete the folder it is in. Does anyone know how I can kill this folder and file
thank
 
Hi David,

Go to the command prompt (Start > Run > cmd) change directory (cd and
...) to the parent folder.
Open Task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) close explorer.exe
From the command prompt type:
rd name_of_folder /s

On Task Manager, open a new task --> Explorer.exe

Good luck
