Hi

Open CMD

Start > Run > CMD.exe

you need the path (listed at the top of the folder) with the items you want to delete.

Type \"del c:\\path\" into the command-line interface, replacing \"c:\\path\" with the exact file path of the file you want to delete.

Press enter.

If this fails, a very technical way is to kill windows shell, delete it through CMD and restart the shell.

Good luck
