Default Delete File
Im having trouble deleting a file. The file is a song that has saved into 'my music' but i assume is corupt as it doesnt play or anything. If i press on the file and press delete (what i usually do) nothing happens, and i cant even drag it to my recycling bin.

Any ideas?

what messages has the computer given you when you have tryed to delete it

is it like this file is all ready in use or you don't have rights to delete this file
