Choose 'All files' from the file type box

click once on the file u wanna delete so its name appears in the 'filename' box

put a " at the start and end of the filename
(the filename should have the extension of the undeletable file so it willoverwrite it)

click save,

It should ask u to overwrite the existing file, choose yes and u can delete itas normal


Here's a manual way of doing it. I'll take this off once you put into yourfirst post zain.

1. Start
2. Run
3. Type: command
4. To move into a directory type: cd c:\*** (The stars stand for your folder)
5. If you cannot access the folder because it has spaces for example ProgramFiles or Kazaa Lite folder you have to do the following. instead of typing inthe full folder name only take the first 6 letters then put a ~ and then 1without spaces. Example: cd c:\progra~1\kazaal~1
6. Once your in the folder the non-deletable file it in type in dir - a listwill come up with everything inside.
7. Now to delete the file type in del***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc... And if the file name has spaces you would usethe special 1st 6 letters followed by a ~ and a 1 rule. Example: if your filename was bad file.bmp you would type once in the specific folder thorughcommand, delbadfil~1.bmp and your file should be gone. Make sure to type in the correctextension.
