This has happened before and I dont remember how to do it so How do I delete
a MPEG video? It wont allow me to delete it, says its in use. I cant even
move it.

I find by rebooting the compter, you can delete file. You might try to use
CTRL-ALT-DEL to get task manager and see it is is still running, If it is
running, you can end task.
 
sometimes if you're using a p2p program to download files, the program may still be using them to upload, even though you have completed download... Edonkey/Overnet is one i've noticed this problem a lot.
Maybe try shutting down any p2p software you have before attempting to delete. Or if that fails, boot into safe mode (F8 at startup) and attempt a delete from within safe mode when it should be free from any applications trying to access it.

Good luck,
