Title: Can't delete file - "Could not find item" - Windows 7
Post by: boo on June 21, 2010, 01:12:48 PM

Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
I have 2 files whose creation doesn't even make sense - They are both copies of 2 video files - both .flv.
They are both 0Kb and cannot be deleted as it says that they are no longer located there.
I just did a clean install of 7 to clean up some things but I forgot to stop the folder that they are in being transferred so I don't think that they are 'ghost files'.

If anyone has an idea what on earth is going on, I would be incredibly thankful as I can't delete the folder that they are in

Thanks!

I worked it out.
I just moved them to another location (I couldn't do this before the reinstall so I never tried) and deleted them from there.

Sorry to waste anyone's time!
