can't delete file on desktop


Recommended Posts

I downloaded a file on my desktop which didn't complete the first time.

I tried again later and it did complete alright.

Now I'm stuck with a 0 byte file on my desktop which I can't delete,

even in safe mode: "this file is being used by another person or program".

 

Any idea?

 

Daniel
