To delete that file that is always in use, I suggest that you use the
following trick.
START | RUN | CMD
CD to your directory.
Use: DIR /X /A to see the SHORT FILE NAMES of the files and directories
there.
use:
RMDIR [/Q] [drive:]path
RD [/Q] [drive:]path
/S Removes all directories and files in the specified directory
in addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory
tree.
/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S
Example:
RMDIR /Q c:\progra~1\McAfee~1
RD /Q c:\progra~1\McAfee~1
