Cannot delete files, with DRM

Slackrabbit · Feb 21, 2007

Hi all, i'm hoping someone can help me.
I have downloaded a file from a torrent site, not realising it contained DRM (Digital Rights Management). I have tried to delete the downloaded folder which contains 2 files but i get an eror saying cannot delete or read from source file or disk. I can however delete the 2 files that are i the folder, but this still leaves me the folder which i cannot delete or rename, and i guess some sort of DRM file will be there as well.
Thanks for your help.

Try one of the below or all of them.... plus also try them in safe mode if normal mode doesnt delete the folder/files

1. Pocket Killbox
2. MoveOnBoot this one, once you dragNdrop the file or browse for its location, deletes the file on reboot, so any applications that have locked the file are not running so cannot lock it before deletion.. my fav!
3. Unlocker

Halo..... I wish you ten thousand thanks.. The pocket killbox and move on boot didn't work for me but unlocker did the trick, be aware folks of downloaded files containing DRM. Again thanks for the help.

Good stuff on removing the files, for that reason I always post all three as sometimes a different one works, depends on senario I guess.
