FILE cannot BE DELETED, the file size of the file type 'file' "0 bytes"

I downloaded a music file of myfreemp3.eu, he wasn't .mp3.  He was able to play a couple of times, but now does not open.  Now, I can't move or delete it from the downloads folder, system do not see.  its properties are of TYPE 'file' and SIZE '0 bytes. "  Error message is "unable to find this article. It is no longer in xxx, etc.

I tried many suggestions to remove it without success.

I have Vista 2007 service pack 2.  I tried in safe mode, tried to move to another folder, tried to run without windows, search, folder to never display thumbnails, tried Mandrake Move, but it was outdated, orders back cmd has tried to delete. Also tried to delete with disabled explorer.exe.

Any suggestions?

Thank you Ganesh and Hetti.  I just finally deleted my ghost file.  I used the safe mode and cmd.

I went into the directory of downloads in the BACK, the used command DIR / X to find out the name of the file.

He was ~ 1 at the end of the file name.   I used DEL filename ~ 1 and the file disappeared.  I checked the

trash and he wasn't there either.  I rebooted the computer and found no trace of the file.

The controls were as follows,

CD C:\users\my name\downloads

dir / x (to find the full file name,)

del (to remove the file)

I could probably use alternative command

del *. *.

Thank you again and maybe it helps someone else.  I ran the control with the repair disc, but that did not remove the ghost file.  I could also not delete the downloads folder.  Create the same named file with 0 bytes not working anymore.  I tried the latest version of Mandrake then.

    GPGW,

    If I (put) understand it, you can, starting with all deselected, commented on are your friends:

    (1) with the selection tool direct Alt/OptionClick the path away from the guy (Smart Guides say path or anchor), then Ctrl / Cmd + C + F, then apply Stroke of origin in the tools/thought the Contour pallet box;

    2) click the Type and press DELETE.

    That should give you the original path with a vascular accident brain (so you can see) and without the Type.

    I can't disable searches in FF, and whenever I have run FF it goes to the search preferences page and I have to save my setting before I can access the home page, this happens EVERY time.

    It could be that Google search is your home page. You can try to change/remove unwanted in the Tools (Alt + T) home pages > Options > general, next to Homepage: and add a new one. Options > general. If the home page has been added by an extension and is reset to Google search, you find the add-on Tools (Alt + T) > Add-on, Extensions (left) and either change the settings or disable / Remove the extension.

    If Firefox is stuck in a session restore , you can try to delete the session: type about: sessionrestore in the address bar (address), hit enter, click start a new Session , restart Firefox and check.

    Research predictive in Google is a feature of Google, and you will need to go to Google search options to turn it off.

  • Cannot delete the file/directory/app in Finder

    I tried to update WhatRoute but something went wrong. I rebooted the update and that worked well, app works.

    However, since that time I have a file in my trash, called 'WhatRoute.app' which cannot be deleted. Finder said "cannot be deleted because it is currently in use". Activity monitor shows nothing. Restarted several times, also I tried mode secure but nothing helped.

    Tried to use Terminal using the "sudo rm... / WhatRoute.app", but get an error message indicating that it was a directory that cannot be deleted.

    While it is now? an application in use or directory? And how do I get rid of him?

    Help, please!

    Make sure that Whatroute isn't in the login items, then restart the mac and try to empty the trash again.

  • Cannot delete the file on my Mac

    I feel so frustrated at the moment. It's my computer and my files and sometimes it says I don't have permission to delete or it is used when it is not because it is the first time I have connected the player via an ethernet cable.

    I don't know if he connection via ethernet cable makes a difference. I searched the net and cannot see messages about how to empty the things you cannot delete from the trash. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Sorry, I'll try and be a little more specific. The I'm trying to delete files are video files and projects related to the soft of Adobe. When I try to delete the file, it indicates a specific folder with videos is in service. I did not open this file or folder for more than a year.

  • Cannot delete the plist file system.

    My Time Machine is not automatically back up my drive. He worked for some time (don't know why) and then stops working automatically. I tried to implement the procedure laid down by Linc Davis, delete the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, but make the message: 'com.apple.TimeMachine.plist' cannot be changed or deleted because it is required by OS X.  I tried to change the permissions in the file information window to include Administrator Read and Write (only has this permission system. Which translates the message: "the operation cannot be performed because you don't have the necessary authorization."

    Using the terminal window and sudo rm command produces the same message.

    I do a backup manually through the system preferences window, but it shows immediately that a backup disk has not been selected. Next time, I select the backup disk, perform a manual backup. Repeat the next time, I have run a manual backup.

    10.11.1 on new iMac, retina 5 K with 16 GB of memory running. Has made a migration to this previous computer Mac Pro 10.7.5.

    Also the Time Machine backup drive icon backup weather icon to see the Machine. Relaunch the Finder does not fix issue.

    Question: How can I delete the plist file?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

    Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

    If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

    Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

    Restart the computer and test.

  • Weird problem with the file to the desktop, cannot be deleted, but not ro.

    Have this file of someone on a Yahoo Group, there was supposed to be a list of some articles of the hobby for sale. Do not remember how I downloaded it, e-mail, group, its Web site. Name is "the N - 2 Locomotives surplus" without extension.

    The file appears on my desktop. Properties indicate that it is of length zero. It cannot be deleted, renamed, moved, whatever it is. The error is still the same - file cannot read from the source file or disk. It's as if she's not here.

    I was even able to create a file with the same name on the desktop. It didn't crush it, it's right there next to each other. Norton doesn't pick up on it.

    I want to delete this guy, it makes me crazy. It seems to violate what I know about the files. What is c? How can I he kill?
