Computers are often used. When deleting unwanted junk files, you are often prompted that they cannot be deleted. There are many reasons why files cannot be deleted when you browse Baidu and Google. The following describes several common solutions on the Internet:
1. Use the Registry to delete media files
In Windows XP, when we delete some AVI files, we often prompt that they cannot be deleted because the system has a pre-read cache mechanism. You can simply cancel this function by entering "Regsvr32/U Shmedia. dll" in the running state. Or run "Regedit" to open the registry and delete the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesCLSID {87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E} InProcServer32" key value.
Ii. Clever Use of WinRAR
In fact, you can use WinRAR to solve the problem when the file cannot be deleted. Right-click the file, select "add to compressed file", and select "delete source file after compression" in the pop-up compression parameter settings window ", finally, delete the generated compressed package.
3. Files cannot be deleted due to file calls using software
The system prompts that the deleted file is being called, which is the most likely to be deleted. If the file is being opened or running, close it directly. In addition, the file is not running at the front end, but called by other programs in the background. At this time, we can use Who Lock Me. After installing the software, right-click the file to be deleted and select "Who Lock Me" to view the called main file. Close the main file and then delete it.
Iv. Common solutions
One, two, and three are just some specific methods. In fact, we can try the following common methods when the file cannot be deleted:
1. log out or restart the computer, and delete the file without any operation;
2. Select F8 at startup to enter safe mode to delete;
3. Use the Del command to delete the file in DOS mode;
4. Execute the assumer.exe process in the task manager, and then run "cmd" to delete it using the del command at the command prompt;
5. system files can be deleted by using multiple systems or by attaching the hard disk as a drive to another computer.
