fqpissed Why Can't I Delete Files???

I am using Windows XP. I have been trying to delete all of my .eml (Outlook Express) files from my hard drive. When I did a search, by typing *.eml in the search box, there are 2007 files listed under the Search Results.

What is the best way to get rid of these files???

I have been deleting them one-by-one !!!

HOW CAN I DELETE THESE FILES FOREVER???

PLEASE HELP.

Make sure you are either using an account with Administrator privledges, or are logged in as the user that created the files.

To select them all, hit CTRL+A. Or, click the first item on the list, drag the scroll bar all the way to the bottom of the list, hold down SHIFT and click the last item on the list. Then hit DEL or SHIFT+DEL.
