Started messing aroind with Fraps last night, was getting shot in stealth from clip range by a ranger on my SB so took some videos for decent evidence, left now with a 3.5GB recording that i cant delete as everytime i try it says its in use.

Cant find a single thing that could be using it tried closing almost every process i can that could possinly be affecting it and still no luck, un-installed Fraps and still it wont let me delete it :(

Anyone know how i can fix this? Very minor problem i know but waste of diskspace :p :m00:

A 3.5 gig file will take ages to 'preview'
chances are that the file is being loaded into memory when you click on it to delete in order to preview it in the the little movie player that appears in some versions of windows
best just to navigate to it under command prompt and delete it that way

i had the same prob and i deleted it so>

right click on it and but it in rar and be sure to dag it so it will delete the original. then when its done delete rar normaly (win rar deletes the original for u)

dont use win zip couse it will make a temp file same size as the original and i have had probs with that. GOOOOO RAR.......... :flame:



ofc other alt. way is to format but thats insane if u just need to delete one file.
