Question

Unable to delete 0 byte file.

Posted:

I was playing with batch files and accidentaly created a 0 byte, no extention file.

Block Image

I googled the problem and I found out that closing explorer.exe and deleting the file via command would help. Tried that. It didn't help. Any software that could do it? Any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help in advance :)

Create a new profile in Windows with admin privileges.

Log out of the current profile.

Log into the new one.

Use explorer to go to your other profiles desktop location.

Manually delete that file.
