How do delete “running” files?

by stormyguy25 . Updated 22 years, 6 months ago

I am running Jaguar on a 15″ PowerMac G4. I have
these three downloaded Quicktime Files that are on my
desktop. When I go try to delete them, Finder says
another program is using the files so it cannot be
deleted.

After double checking there is not one program that
uses the files. (I have even rebooted close to a dozen
times) and nothing is running in the dock, in Classic, or
in the Program Manager (Force Quit Screen).

The question is, how do I override this “program” that is
using my Quicktime Files to delete them?
