    So i ran into an issue with some random cache files from Opera, they are corrupt. So i ran chkdsk but it wont do the 3rd step. It says i need to restart and it will run automatically.

    So i restart, and everytime i do it trys to run chkdsk, but it automatically cancells it for some reason.

    So is there any way i can remove those damned corrupt files? I normaly wouldnt care too much, but since i "have a chkdsk scheduled" i cant defrag my computer so it hasnt been done in several months. Makes this already sub-pac laptop run like cold molasses.

    Thank you for your help, senlis, but i just tried both of those, and neither seems to work.

    Right click what you want removed. If something has it locked so you can't delete the file(s), a window will come up showing all the locks. Click Unlock and it will be gone.
