I removed a user and went to delete all their files but I could not delete a
file named 792.

It is located under in Documents and Settings / local Settings / Temp /
hsperfdata_new user

I have tried changing the attributes as Administrator and it will not allow
me to change them. I have booted in dos and I still can not delete this file.

Does any one have a suggestion on how I can delete the file.

Thank you

Searching for "hsperfdata", on Google, I saw this, among others:

"In some cases SUN Java creates a folder called hsperfdata with file
permissions only set to the user and can not be removed by the system without
taking ownership. SUN say’s this is by design (bug id 5042659)"

I tried Unlocker and it does not work.

If sun placed a file on my computer that I can not delete shame on them.

I have changed the attributes as much as I can and I still can not delete
the file.

I do not want the user name on my computer but I can don't remove from the
directory.

Any one else got an idea.

Thanks
