How to delete files?

[Alex]

Hello,

I'm trying to delete on XP pro some unwanted files, but I get 'file maybe in
use, or you might not have admin.
rights. etc'. I try to use the recovery console, but again I get a message
'access denied'. It seems impossible to delete them, even the wipe tool on
norton systemworks reports: access is denied. These are unnecessary files.
Thanks

Rebooting sometimes frees them when a program has not closed the files
properly.
