was wondering if anyone has any suggestions ....

i have 2 zip files on my desktop, 3 appeared after i downloaded a picture from my email.

the one that i was able to open and get the picture from, i could send the the trash and delete.

the other two, i cant open and the system says they cant be moved to the trash because they cant be deleted.

ive done a google search and read something about it possibly being partially downloaded files, but nothing that is helping me actually delete them..

any advice ?

thanks in advance

Do you have a complete error message or a screenshot of the dialog that you get when you try to trash them?
