HELP ...error trying to delete
I have a folder with MP3's in it I cannot delete.



I went through and was able to manually delete all but 4 MP3s.

The first 2 aren't even recognized and won't even play:



The other 2 can see the properties, they will play, but when I try and delete I get this and I cannot rename them:



Running Win2000 pro.
Thanks

1. Run a viruscan first
then see if you can copy and paste to a different folder. Try deleting from COMMAND PROMPT. Is a program using those files. Have you rebooted the system-sometimes that works.

3. Okay...solved it
That was weird.
I "cut and pasted" the folder on to my desktop, from "My Music" folder and then was able to delete from there.
