can not delete file

[ilinoisZ]

just joined because i have two files from hell! tried to download two movies from limewire and now i can't get rid of them. found a thread on here on how to delete an undeleteable file but nothing is working. i have xp, have rebooted in safe mode, ran antivirus, ran spyware, shut off limewire. i can't delete the files, can't rename, can't move....nothing. is there an easy way to get rid of these files? also, when looking into the properties, it says no space is taken up by the files....but when highlighted, the two files take up 14.1MB. don't know if this helps. thanks for any quick easy help

wow.....nevermind. i guess all i needed to do, was go into limewire and delete them from there. i am SO glad i wasted 5 hours of my life trying to figure this out. still a great website (have been searching and reading posts while i tried to figure stuff out).

Those are the kinds of things that happen when you use P2P file sharing.

Just be careful.
