I have a mpg file that looks normal, however when attempting to play it or even delete the folder that contains it, it states that it cannot delete it and that i must specify the correct path or file name. When I look up the properties of it, it shows that the file is a file folder and there is no location specified as well as the size reading 0. There is also no created date. Could someone help me figure out how to delete this thing (actually there are 2)
 
Hi ben,

Open a command prompt (running cmd.exe from Start > Run) in the
directory of the troublesome files, open task manager and from it
close windows explorer.

Now delete the files from the command prompt using del
name_of_file.extension

Go to task manager, and in 'New Task' enter explorer.exe.

If you want to get rid of a troublesome folder follow the same steps.
just situate yourself on the parent directory and type:
rd troublesome_directory


Hope this helps.
