Can not Delete File

Asked by MarketingDrive in Windows Vista

Tags: Microsoft, Windows, Vista

I was using Genuine Fractals and created a .stn file and it crashed during the creation process and now I have a file in my folder that I can not delete, I have tried the following:

1.   Safe Mode - can not delete file says calculting time and just hangs
2.   Checked Disk on start up...
3.   Try to puss permissions down on the folder but that hangs

I get no error message just get a message box that it is calculating the estimated time and just hangs , then I have to force quit....  I can however delete any of the other files in the folder.  I think that the file is maybe not listed in the FAT and the system can not figure out how to delete it.

Any ways to debug this would be great!Start Free Trial
