once a time, you got something error windows when you are copying, cut, or paste your file with file manager (windust explorer maybe…). thus, what we used to fix this? in this post, i’ve been write about things to do when it happened. let’s say the solution is deleting a file. but,if you delete manually, you’ve got error message or bad redundancy file. let’s check now!here is to do.
open a command prompt window and leave it open. then close all open programs.
click start, run and enter TASKMGR.EXE or you can press ctrl+alt+del in anywhere to run task manager. go to the Processes tab and terminate Process on Explorer.exe.
just leave task manager open. go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory the files (or other undeletable file) is located in.
At the command prompt type:
DEL <filename> where <filename>

note: <filename> is the file you wish to delete.

Go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the GUI shell. close Task Manager.

there is other way to deleting file by only save in others format file. for the example is we would delete “miyabi.avi” but miyabi.avi can’t delete normally. we just only open it with notepad (or something else, which not editor of the source file) and save it to other format :P (*.txt). now, we just deleting the file. how if my file is not deleted?

don’t worry,there is another way. you can still delete the file with other operating system which can see (read,write partition) the partition of your windust :P . are you install linux and replace the windust partition?!. no, exactly not!one way, you can download any linux or *nix live cd (ubuntu live cd ~i suggest). (format of file is *.iso) . burn it into CD/DVD and then boot it into your computer. so, we just deleted a file or folder which corrupt. and remmember to defrag your partition of your windust. because, maybe your hard drive is corrupt. good luck! :P
