try restarting your PC.
If cannot, boot up in safe mode, go to command prompt, type, del c:/[location of the file].
(you might want to change the letter of your drive if the file is in the other drive)

Why did you erase the filenames? It might help to determine wether those are systemfiles or not...
There is a program to unlock files, it's called Unlocker but at all times you need to make sure wether that file really isn't necessary anymore (use with caution).

Try changing the file extension, restarting the computer then deleting the file.

quote:They could be regular executables, remove/uninstall the programs from add/remove programs before you try to delete them. Ofcourse that might have to be done at the admin account if these are installed to more than one windows account (remember the install just for me/for all question lots of softwares have).
