There are 4 avi files in my documents/joan/local
settings/temp folder which are taking up 100M of disk.
When I play them they are nothing but B&W old reel
headers.
When I try to delete them I get error message that either
they are in use or have write protection.
How do I get rid of them?
PS I thought items in temp folders were fair game to be
deleted. My cleandisk doesn't find these.
Thanks much

Hi,

Open the media player, delete those files from the playlists. Then close and
go back and delete the files themselves.
