Hi, well I cleared up my Desktop today, and this 1 file, it won't let me delete it, lol, it has nothing in it, and it's just called "file name here." - and it's really annoying me, lol.
Whenever I try delete it, it says:
Cannot delete file: Cannot read from source file or disk.
It has nothing in it, never has, and I tried re-booting PC incase something, somehow, was using it, cleaned up PC of everything, it just won't delete, lol.
And if I right-click it for properties, and change any of the attributes so it's not read-only, Hidden or Archive, it won't change, there all unticked at the moment.
This 1 folder is just really annoying me, lol.
This file won't delete ¬_¬

If you know anything about DOS you could open a Command prompt and most likely delete it that way.
Start...Run...cmd
cd desktop
dir (will give you a list of files on the desktop)
del /F [the file you want to delete]
Good luck.

Didn't work...I don't think it accept spaces? Told it the file then it just said couldn't find "file" when I put "file name here.", tried using _ as the space, didn't work ;x

Type [del file] then hit Tab...it will fill in the whole name then hit Enter to delete it.

Wait...I just noticed something...that file is really a directory!
You need to use [rd /S file] then hit Tab to complete the name then hit Enter to run the command.
