Try download & install file unlocker. This will allow you to unlock the process that is accessing the file, allowing you to delete.

U tried to play .avi and u get msg cant delete file.
OK, file is linked to some process like the player you tried to play(or u did something else that links to that file ) it and it wont delete .

Use http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/ u will see an icon in notification area(next to your clock) so u know it is running and than try to delete.U get again same windows msg,click OK unlocker will pop up and u select delete file.(it will kill the process that is holding that delete.) Done.


DigiFixIt already pointed out for u.
