I installed fraps (the program that records games) and made a few videos. After i while i realised the program was unstable and made a lot of my games crash. So i uninstalled it.
I go into my c drive and see the folder is still in there...and what is this. 3.98GB of stuff! I look in and its got two huge videos i thought i'd deleted. I delete the entire folder.
It disappears into the recycle bin. I smirk to myself thinking of the rubbish i can now download and use my 3.98GB with more stupid and new things.
But then disaster...
It won't empty the recycle bin. "The file is in use"
But theres nothing running except for msn messenger...i've tried r estarting but still 'the file is in use'.
IF it gives you a message that files are in use. Just reboot your machine and you will be able to delete it. Or go into regedit and delete the registry enteries that should do it.
Well, there are only a few processes, such as svchost & explorer that you wouldn't want to delete, otherwise, why wouldn't it be okay? You aught to reboot after something like that anyway.
