Hey,
Im trying to delete Windows Media Player for the sole reason that it sucks. It also sucks so much that it wont let me. I just put all the junk in the trash can and when I try to delete it says it "Operation cannot be completed because "_____" is locked. I traced these files down, but it doesnt say that they are locked. They are packaged inside this archive. Thanks if youve got any tips |

Try selecting "Secure Empty Trash" from the Finder Menu. That often works for me. If that doesn't work, find the app or archive in question, do a get info (Apple + I) and see if there is a check in the box marked "Lock".
