Problem deleting files
Have a Win98SE machine. I copied and pasted some files from one area to another and they ended up being gibberish. When I try to just delete them I get a "Error Deleting File, Cannot delete file" box. How do I fix this? Thanks.

Hiya jacatone,
Have you tried rebooting the machine? Windows may still be reading the file as being open by another program or perhaps it's stuck in memory/cache. A reboot will generally fix this issue and release the file to allow deletion. Hope this helps! Stryker
