hello..

i am unable to delete a file in my pc named Vivah.(2006).DVDrip.XviD-700MB- DrG.avi ... it says that the file is being used by an application whereas there is no such application. i even tried restarting and also tried in safe mode. plz help !
 
It may have a service or a process associated with it. You need to stop the service/process then delete if safe mode doesn't work.
 
I get that sometimes with media files even when theyre not a virus I think it is a windows bug I don't get it in linux

solution:
use a file eradicator e.g. file assasain will delete any file you want whilst skipping the recycle bin and even whilst the file is being used
