0 bytes of the file "not exist cannot be removed..." How can I delete? (SOLVED)

I have some files on my hard drive which say that they don't exist when I try to delete them.  There are 4 files all of what sont0 bytes and say that they "do not exist" when I try to delete them. I tried "AVG Shredder" and "Deletedr", but these files will not remove... I also tried via a command prompt and manually remove... Here's a picture of me trying to delete 2 files problem: PHOTO #1

The file is not locked there "is no"... I just need to know how to remove it. For example, if I send you the download link and you downloaded the same file of 0 bytes would be on your system by mistake. You also wouldn't be able to delete it. If no solution anyone?

EDIT: I found a solution online here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/79699-undeletable-file-delete.html

All I had to do was turn off explorer.exe, then delete the file using the command line. Please note that you MUST finish explorer.exe so that it works for anyone else having this problem.

    This happened only after I deleted my temporary files, but does not see why this file would have been affected

    The file is part of the malware MyWebSearch toolbar. Either you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup.

    Because you had a piece of malware, the chances are too high you had others. It would be a good idea to scan. I recommend to download and install MalwareBytes' anti-malware (MBAM) from http://www.malwarebytes.org . The program is free. (There is a paid version, but you don't need to buy it to remove the malware).

    Manage startup:

    (for XP) Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

    This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

  • There are 2 strange empty folders in my local files that refuse to be removed; How can I get rid of them?

    I'm trying to clean up the years of records that are no longer required, but two folders in the attached image will not go away. Can I delete one of them, but not both, but then the next time I use Thunderbird, both are there. I went to the profile folder, trash removed, but when I open Thunderbird, a junk folder is there and a second will be added soon.

    goto the menu help and select troubleshooting, and then click on show profile folder.

    Close Thunderbird

    In the Explorer window that opened, open the mail folder, then one of the local folders.

    Removal of the entries in the file for the "strange folder names" and restart Thunderbird.

  • Before: attachments not in the body of the letter. Now: attachments in the body of the letter - not wanted to so. How can I fix it?

    A few days when I used Thunderbird in sending electronic messages that I place an attachment it would remain just as an attachment and there was not change to what I had entered in the body of the message.

    Now, when I do an attachment to an e-mail message, the attachment holds with the message, but also becomes a part of the body of the message. that is the form or photo showing now fully in the body of the e-mail message.

    I want to know how to change Thunderbird back so that the spare part just stay attachments only.

    Question:

    Why oracle.exe takes 8 Virtual G; bytes, memroy target may not go beyond 5 G. How to minimize the virtual bytes perfmon

    Thank you for your time and help.

    When you talk about Oracle.exe you seem not to take into account

    -L'executable memory will too

    -Oracle is a multithreaded Windows process, so memory consumption goes also to the different client that are connected to the database session.

    This means, you consume approximately 3G of memory beyond the LMS, and it is quite reasonable.

    So if you want to make sure that oracle consumes less than 8G memory, you have two options

    -reduce the SGA

    You spend more than 50 percent of the memory of the SGA. Oracle has never recommended that

    You might be willing to v$ sga_target_advisor allows you to see the impact of this change.

    You may also set your SQL queries

    -the second option you have is to stop Oracle.

    For sure it will use less than 8G in this solution.

  • "File not found" - cannot use Windows

    I was rearranging some files on my Mac, and since I restarted merger, I get the "File not found" error when you try to start Windows. During the conversion of the records, I was still able to use the Fusion and windows, so I don't think that there is no problem. I'm fairly certain that I did not remove the file for Windows & Fusion, but now I can't use Windows and I am in desperate need of it. Here's what I see. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The default location to store the virtual machines is ~/Documents/VirtualMachines.

    You have moved the file vmwarevm of Windows 7 to another location.

    If you remember to move this file to another location, you must manually navigate to the new location and open the file (Windows 7 vmwarevm). Merger will create a new entry in the library and you will be able to access Windows 7.

    If you don't remember the location, try searching Windows 7 or Windows 7 vmwarevm in the spotlight.
