Unwanted files.

[Uglybloke]

Hi all,

I have a problem with deleting unwanted files from my documents. They are marked at the moment with normal icon for Word but without the smaller `W` at the top left corner. They can be changed to open in any type of file under `Properties`, that is Acrobat, Int.Expl. or XML Ed. etc. and the file icon changes to whichever I pick. However I can`t delete them, move them or even email them to my worst enemy.

They are marked File Type: File but each time I try to move, delete I have a screen which says ` cannot delete file: cannot read read from the source or disk`. They contain 0 bytes, so obviously saved in error by me, but I don`t know how I managed it!!

Any ideas to get rid of them please?

CF - I`m afraid not, I tried to rename it originally, but can`t rename, delete, move,(to a separate folder) or anywhere else. I`ve changed the icons thru Properties, but it doesn`t make any difference.

AC - Tried your last just now, doesn`t work either.

Thanks to all, very, very much for your time and efforts.

im trying to look at what files u r trying to delete, but i cant see it on your pics.

if the Documents r in the D drive then u must have a CD in your PC. some Cd writer cds do not allow u to make admendments, delete or anything at all. they stay pernament

No they`re not in the `D` Drive or on a CD. They are the ones starting with Bertha Young and next 7.
