How To Delete An Undeletable File Easily

You might have been through a situation where a file on your computer was undeletable.You tried hard after deleting it again and again,but it was still there.This usually happens when that file is still running in the background or probably a virus.
You can still delete that file using a very simple logic.This is not a trick,its a function within your computer.Lets take a look at the steps:
  • Open Command Prompt by going to Start->Run->type 'cmd'->Press Enter
  • Minimize the cmd(Note: Don't close it)
  • Close other programs that you are running except cmd
  • Now again go to Start->Run->Type 'Taskmgr.exe'->Press Enter
  • Go to 'Processes' Tab and look for 'explorer.exe'
  • Single click on 'explorer.exe' and click on End Process Button
  • Leave the Task Manager Open(Note: Don't close it)
  • Go back to cmd and select the directory where your file is located(The location of the file that you want to delete)
  • Now Type 'DEL FILENAME' (Note: Replace FILENAME with the original File Name)
  • Go back to Task Manager and click on 'File' and then 'New Task' and then enter 'explorer.exe' to start the GUI Shell
  • Close Task Manager
After doing this,your file will be deleted permanently.
