Hi
I have a problem deleting 3 files on my vista laptop .I tried normally to delete it and ive tried eraser and when i right click eraser dose not show on these three files .Which is strange .
I cant move them as well . is there some why to get rid of them ???
These files when i try to delete them it says these items cannot be found and they are no longer located .

Did you try restarting the computer? Maybe they will be gone after a restart.

What are the file names and where are they located? Try right-clicking each one and then click properties. Post back what they are.

Do you have Paint Shop Pro installed on the computer? With that file extension, they sound like files from that program.
0 bytes means the files have no content... they are empty. I would follow roger_m's suggestion for Unlocker.
