The specific phenomenon may be that the system prompts "Cannot delete, exit the application Prompt window, even when the system is restarted. Why can't AVI files be deleted in Windows XP? How can we delete AVI files correctly?

To delete the AVI file in Windows XP, you can cancel the multimedia preview function of Windows XP by using the following methods:
