Cannot delete "file name": Acces denied

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

large video files upwards of 3 or 4GB? The Recycle Bin has a limit to how much it can store so, you wont be able to delete these files.

You'll have to shift+delete them. This bypasses the Recycle Bin and permanently deletes them

Not that large files.I do shift+delete, but it gives the same error.Actually I delete the file, but it comes back again so I can't delete again.I have to restart in that case.
