    I downloaded this from some software site, and this was supposed to be a winamp plus v 5.31, but the problem is that i can't open, edit, remove, do anything else with the folder. I tried many ways, but none have worked so far. This folder was in a zip compressed archive when i downloaded it, and wherever i unzip it, it's un-editable and un-removable after being unzipped. What solution/software do you suggest i could use? I guess i could do it with cmd or in safe mode, but I do not posses enough knowledge for cmd and my safe mode won't start. I am willing to provide any other information required, and I will be waiting for a reply. Thanks in advance.

    P.S. I also tried scanning it with various anti-spyware programms and anti-viruses, nothing works.

    Hi

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

    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
