2 delete questions

cubix

1)Looking for a handy little prog that will delete the un-deleteable,trying to delete a file but everytime I do it tells me there is some program using is but theres not

2)I am trying to delete Ms Outlook as some of my personal folders are corrupt but when I stick in the Office cd and choose to delete outlook/restart/re-install, the new copy is the same.I know the cd is good so how do I get low down and delete outlook without wiping the machine :eek:


Thanks Cubix

1st one may be spyware and is being used by a process, get adaware or somfin.

Locate .pst files in your documents and kill them (well hidden so unhide folders before you go looking)

this sometimes works for me.

if the file is in a folder i remove all the other contents of the folder (stuff you want to keep) stick them in a new folder on desktop (or whereever you want for time being) just so long as it's the un deletable file in the folder it was orignally in... delete the folder.

then you can re make the folder again and paste everything back in
