cannot delete temporary files

[alan b]

I need to delete these temporary files but they cannot be deleted due to
being used by other process. Do you have commands to delete them once I run
CMD at ms dos prompt? It causes error 430.

You can delete the files from the Safe Mode, but if they are in use
during a normal Windows session, they will come back as soon as you
start Windows in the Normal Mode again. Therefore I would simply leave
the files alone.

Thanks, Thorsten..I will then follow your suggestion and
leave them alone.

You are welcome.
