[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1524605, member: 24160"] Make sure none of the files are in use. I would "assume" with word documents, you've opened them to verify what they were and are safe to delete. Did you "quit" Word prior to attempting to delete them? Has she emptied out the downloads folder? the trash? With some pesky files - boot to safe mode and try deleting them from there. This should be an extremely rare need. [/QUOTE]
