i need help. i can't delete an mpeg file.

when i right click it, i get this in the balloon:
play
add to now playing list
add to playlist
add to sync list
add to burn list
open with

send to>

when i highlight it and try to delete it from the top menu, nothing happens.
anyone know what's wrong and how i got about deleting it?

thanks.
 
if you can highlight it hold down the shift key then press delete that might
do it. Note of caution this deletes forever not just to the recycle bin.
 
Hi

What size is the file?

Try deleting the file from a command prompt. It that fails, try Safe Mode.

it's 10.6mb. i've tried the highlight and shift/delete, but that didn't
work. It wouldn't work in safe mode either.

What do you mean by command prompt?
