Help deleting a file on XP

I have an AVI file I can't delete!
I get an error saying another program is using that file, and to close that other program first.
But there are no other programs running! I even tried starting up in Safe Mode, hoping it would help, but I still could not delete the file!
I would be most grateful for any tips or suggestions.
Thanks so much! |

and you can also delete it from dos
start->run-> type "cmd" and hit enter and then navigate to it and delete the ******! it's good to keep the porn .avi's out of sight!;) |

why all the trouble .... just create a new textfile and save it as the file you want to delete ... voila
and then just delete the new file you saved ... works every time .. |
