Delete RealPlayer downloads

L

Lee

When I try to delete downloads from the folder My Documents/My
Videos/RealPlayer Downloads I get an "Access Denied - Make sure that the
disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not in use" error.

When I delete the file from the library in RealPlayer, it deletes there but
the file does not disappear from the folder.

How can I get these files out of that folder?

Either try rebooting and going to that folder immediately and trying again
to delete the files - do not start Real Player before attempting this.

If this fails, try downloading and installing the neat [small + free]
program "Unlocker" which, once installed, should pop-up in response to any
"Access denied - make sure the disk is not full or write-protected" error
messages automatically.

Then press on the "Unlock All" button to free your files for whatever
operation (rename, move, delete, etc.,) that you wanted to perform on the
file

Download the "Unlocker" program by clicking on the link below :

....or go to the official developer's website :

You can DELete all from a DOS prompt.
