Deleting files that cannot be deleted through normal means
Ever have a file that is locked by the OS and you absolutely cannot delete it….. Well here is a way, when you don’t have DOS as an option.
Install the Windows Recovery Console After Windows is Already Installed on the Computer
1. Click Start, click Run, and then type CD-ROM drive letter:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons in the Open box, where CD-ROM drive letter is the drive letter assigned to your CD-ROM drive.
2. Click OK, follow the instructions on the screen to finish Setup, and then restart your computer.
when you reboot choose the recovery console as your startup option. Then use the normal dir, cd, del stuff to get rid of those nasty files.
