Try to take ownership of the folder where are the files you want to delete. I have this problem sometimes and I solve this by taking ownership of the foler.

Good Luck!

i tried it. but no access. i tried several utilities like "cacls" or "subinacl". none of them helped.

open winfile at the run command and look at the properties and who may have it open

thanks for your help but actually the files were corrupt. a scandisk (with both options => reboot!) helped. now i have control over the files.

thanks for your support
