OT : stuck with a file. any idea ?

Corsair · 01-01-07, 06:51 AM

On this first day of 2007, I'm stuck with following problem.
I wanted to make room on my HD and burned some big files to CDs. I was just using the Windows assistant for burning the CDs.
Something went wrong on the last one, I am now stuck with a file 485 Mo (an .exe mod for OFP) that doesn't want to disappear from the temporary files waiting for burning.
So I still have the original file on my disk, I have the temporary file inside the Windows assistant. System refuses to delete any one of both (probably considers the file open) if I burn it to a CD, the assistant refuses to close at the end of the process and keeps the temporary file as "waiting to be burned". Tried to use CCleaner but got stuck also. If I delete any of them I find it in he dustbin but then system refuses to empty the dustbin...

Any expert here that can help me with this one ? Thks...

OK never mind... finally got rid of the darned thing, managed to transfer one to an external disk and then could eliminate the second...
Guess no good to try fancy things on morning of the 1st of Jan.. brain not cleared up yet..
