How to remove unwanted files or folders?

[sayarthein@yahoo.com.sg]

Please somebody tell me how to remove these files. Some files in my computer cant delete. I found that mostly on downloaded files and folders. They said it is being used by someone or programme.
thanks for your opinion.

So there must be a program running, using these files. What kind of files are there?

Try to find a connection between the files and your software, maybe with using the task manager - bingo. Maybe it's enough if you delete some stuff from the auto startup.

If you downloaded them in uTorrent it means they are in use by uTorrent :rolleyes:
Just open the software, look in "History" (or "Temporary Files") or whatever and delete the unfinished downloads from there. I'm not used to uTorrent so I can't give you any advice in the software itself which means you have to look around a bit.

Download uTorrent again and install the same version in the same way, and use the old folders. Then delete the unwanted files and uninstall uTorrent properly ;) Especially the latter thing is really important.
It is always good to use the uninstall routines provided if you do not want your system to be a total mess.
