Cannot Delete File

P

PT

I'm trying unsuccessfully to delete a url link file [FILENAME.url] with a
very long name. It's the sole file at the bottom of a series of about five
sub-folders. Here's what I've done:

1. Using Windows Explorer, I select the file, and click Delete - nothing
happens.

2. I select to the folder which contains the file and click delete, and get
the following error message:

"Cannot delete FILENAME. Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you
specify the correct path and file name."

3. I use the command prompt, and try to get to the folder holding the file
to use Del *.*. I get to the subdirectory one step above the subdirectory
containing the file. When I use CD LastFolder, I'm told it's an invalid
directory.

Apparently there's something wrong with the file, but I can't figure out how
to clear it away.

Please help.
