It keeps telling me it's in use by another program. It isn't. I cancelled the download partway through the download process and now I have this fragment of a file on my desktop that won't go away. And yes, I've closed the download program, and it still won't budge. :x
If you use Vista. (Or XP but there may be some difference then)
If you don't have the permission/ownership to delete the file/archive you left-click to mark the file/archive then you press the rigth mouse-button (over the selected file) and press properties then go to the security tab and hit the advance setting, there you can overtake the ownership over the archive/file, just select the your user and select the edit button, after that you press that you overtake the ownership over the file.
Maybe that´ll help.
Sorry if my Eng/grammar suck, but Eng. is not my native language. (from Sweden)
