Re: Serious problem deleting file...
I have a few suggestions. First go into control panel, folder options and then the View tab, click "Show Hidden files and folders", and Uncheck "Hide protected OS files"
Then go into C, and you will see the $Recycle Bin folder, go inside of it and delete all folders. Then close the window and open it again and in C delete the WHOLE $Recycle Bin folder itself. This will delete all deleted files, and then the second time will delete the just deleted files again and the recycle bins space it used, and the folder. It will be replaced again by the system do not worry about deleting the system folder for $Recycle Bin.
If that does not work, right click the Recycle bin and choose properties, then set the MAX size allowed to 1MB and reboot and see if the files remain.
If none of the above works for you, download this app called unlocker. Install it (When installing Uncheck "Assistant" >>>
UNLOCKER 1.8.7 BY CEDRICK 'NITCH' COLLOMB
Then again go to the C drive, and right click the $Recycle Bin Folder and choose Unlocker then select Delete, and if asked Choose delete on reboot
