Unable To Delete Mkv Video File

Jun 7, 2010

I have a .mkv video file which I cannot rename, move, or delete. Every time I do so this message shows: "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in windows explorer. Close the file and try again." If I try to delete the folder, a similar message pops up saying that a file is in use in another program.

Unable To Delete File After Installing Cygwin?

Nov 6, 2012

I installed cygwin in C:cygwin... Unfortunately, for one reason or another, my whole cygwin install became horribly buggered up (my home directory was not recognized and I could not access many of my commands/applications that I had installed/built). Now, I figured that I'm going to nuke everything from orbit (just delete the cygwin directory in my C drive) and start from scratch (besides, I would have loved to make an update or two to some of the apps). This became painfully difficult, as some directories and files could not be deleted. I'm running Win 7 and I am an admin.This is the error that I get (with an exclamation point) when I try to delete a file:

Invalid MS-DOS function.

Need To Delete Captions From Music Video

May 1, 2011

I have this nice music video captured at a live TV show of the French Canal2. Unfortunately it is all cluttered with captions. I wonder whether someone has an idea how to get rid of those captions. My original is in .wmv at 180MBs, but for uploading it to skydrive I had to convert it to .flv because of the Skydive 50MB limit per upload.

Unable To Delete URL Shortcut

May 22, 2011

I have been backing up my computers religiously. I will open another question post about what specifically is recommended for backups but for now, I need to find a way to get rid of this file on my 250GB Seagate FreeAgent drive. I suspect it got there from backing up my computer which is NTFS and onto the FreeAgent Drive, which I suspect is FAT32, and now, I can't delete it. I can't move it or rename it or anything. What ever I do, pops up this warning... (see screenshot)

[URL]

I hope somebody has encontered this and has an idea. I have started reducing the length of the shortcut names when I save them as a bookmark or favorite place. But I still need to get rid of this one and I would prefer to do it without having to reformat the drive.

May 1, 2011

I'm trying to clean up an external drive by deleting various files (using Windows Explorer) but like every file gives me "an unexpected error is keeping you from deleting the file error 0x80070570".

Now for some reason I can delete the files using del in the command prompt.But I need to delete hundreds of specific files scattered around, so I need to figure out how to get around this error.I don't want to chkdsk etc on the external either. I just want to bypass the error.

I have about 5 MKV files that I can not delete or rename or move. I can copy them, but then the copies will not be deletable at wherever I paste them. I have tried running as an administrator and "taking ownership", but still can not delete them. They are all .MKV if that matters. I am on Win 7 home 64.

I have an annoying problem with my player 12 in as much as I have deleted the public sample video file/folder from my system (the one with baloons) but have been left with the short cut in the videos playlist that cannot be deleted or played (obviously as it no longer exsists).

Unable To Delete Folders

Sep 21, 2010

I've got a directory that contains several empty folders that I'd like to delete. When I attempt to delete the folders I get the error 'Could not find this item. This is no longer located in.' I'd ignore this problem, but some software I've got throws up an error when it scans the directory, and finds these 'phantom' folders.

Unable To Delete Folder

Nov 1, 2010

Recently I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate (not an upgrade). It's a hard drive that had already had Win 7 Ultimate on it, but I had run into some snafus, so I just re-installed fresh. As you probably already know, Windows 7 detects previous Windows installations and puts it into a folder called "Windows.old". After my new installation was done, this Windows.old folder was pretty big, around 25 gigabytes. From some searching I did, I found out about using Disk Cleanup, and you put a checkmark in the box for Previous Windows installations, and then let the program run its course.

Unable To Delete Files

May 1, 2011

So, lately my Windows 7 started acting weird. I'm not able to delete or rename files that I have used recently. Let's say I run File.exe, close it and I want to delete/rename this file. Sometimes I'm trying to do that I get error about something that couldn't delete file because it's in use. It also happens with auto patchers in games, system denies to delete/modify items. Happens with compiler aswell, they're not able to over-write output file. I'm not going to post screenshot since it doesn't happen always and I don't really know how to reproduce this, but it's regular error box with message similar to "Couldn't delete file. File is in use/opened by some process." or something like that with 2 buttons "Retry" and "Cancel". Current solution for that is Log off/Reboot or use application called "UnLocker" (I found it via Google some time ago)
