    I have a file that refuses deletion. Cause is stated as title being too long.
    Tried killbox, didn't work. Ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi

    Boot into Safe Mode and try to delete the file there.

    If not work then try both of the below in Normal Mode to start and then if file not deleting in Safe Mode

    • 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!
    • Unlocker
