Annoying 0 byte Executes (help please?)

Featured Replies

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?

try deleting them in safe mode?

Excellent utility, perfect for dealing with your problem. Doesn't require a restart either.
