Error on deleteing files!

[NewbieBuilder]

Hi i downloaded some Ringtones for my phone a few months back.
I tried deleting them today and i get the error that the file is in use/disk write protected etc.

Ive never actually used any of the files it is sayin is in use so i dont know why its doing it.

I checked control alt del to just to check and nothing.
so now i dont know what to do, how can i shift the files from my comp?

Cheers

Try deleting them from Safe Mode.

Start your computer and then start tapping on F8 until you're presented with the Boot Menu screen. Choose Safe Mode.

G'day
Delete files that are undeletable.
Open a Command Prompt window and leave it open. Close all open programs. Click Start, Run and enter TASKMGR.EXE Go to the Processes tab and End Process on Explorer.exe. Leave Task Manager open. Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory the AVI (or other undeletable file) is located in. At the command prompt type DEL where is the file you wish to delete. Go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the GUI shell. Close Task Manager.
