AeonSan Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I currently need help in removing 0 byte empty [Caution: Executable File] files. I tried the old fashion method of right-click > delete, but it says that it is being used by another user or programs (no other users on my comp. except me). I have also tried using cmd. Here's some of the commands that I used, but did not seem to work. taskkill /im (program name) >got message: could not find process... taskkill /f /im (program name) >got message: could not find process... taskkill /f /t /im (program name) >got message: could not find process... del /f (program name) >got message: another person/program is using this file. I have double-checked the entries and location of the files, yet still can't get rid of them. Any ideas how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
