Prefetch Files--Cannot Delete All at Once

[Temprock]

I'm an orderliness freak, like to get rid of *.pf files even though in
know in XP they basically replenish themselves quickly.

Problem: as in the past I find all *.pf files in Search, Press "Select
All" in Edit dropdown menu, but when I hit "Delete" I get an Error
Deleting Files or Folders Screen stating " cannot delete file: cannot
read from the source file or disk".

I am able to delete the larger *.pf (Prefetch) files manually and
separately, but I would prefer the Select All/Delete All (at once)
approach.

Any ideas?

No biggie but thanks.

Hi

Reboot, then try and delete the files. Although the files in the Prefetch
folder do help in loading programs faster.

Maybe you would have better luck by going to C:\Windows\Prefetch
Folder and doing it from there.
