Deleting Files and folders?

Answer 1

use this command



rd /s nameOfDirectory

Answer 2

If you found the file in search?

Never heard of this, new malware perhaps?

Anyway, if you right-click the file itself, you can delete it then.

If Widers sez the filename is troo long(I doubt it will) then Right-click, rename, then delete.

Also, if the file has an .exe file extension, it is an executable program, so I worry about what you are dealing with.

Answer 4

That is weird, never ever had something like that.



You can try going to that file, cutting it and pasting it in something like "My Documents" then deleting it.



Also, try deleting it by holding "Shift" and pressing "Delete".



Hope it works.
