We are going to need some specifics before we can offer any help with your corrupted file issue. We will need to know things like: What OS, what file system (NTFS, FAT, NFS, etc.) what kind of files (Word docs, spreadsheets, database files, etc.)?
The more specific information you can provide the more specific help we can offer.

I have a couple files I cannot delete in my system. I run win XPpro and the files in question are (1)a temp file created in my writeable CD folder (2) a .wav file created in a standard folder. I work with editing recordings and this has really puta damper on things. the file in the writable folder means I have to log in as a diff user to write CDs for samples. the other file effectively wiped out 3 hours work on an admittedly non-backed-up project. When I try to delte them I get a messagestating they are in use by another process. I even tried a command line delete fro another power user login.

any solutions? currently working on tracking the source of the corruptions. possibly a bad power supply by the random gliches, reboots,and noise through sound card.
