When i am trying to delete a pdf file i am getting a message as

" Cannot delete the file : Access denied " Make sure the disk is not write protected.

The first thing that I would do is shut the machine down, start it again, and then see what happens when you try to delete the file.

I am not an expert on these things, but I do have some experience with having the same problem. So, shutting down and restarting and trying to delete again is the first thing that I would do.

I don't know what operating system that you are running, but if you are running Windows on a Microsoft computer, another thing that you might try, is going into Safe Mode and doing the same thing. That is, trying to delete the file.

Well the Operating system i am using is winxp and also the file is in the server and the drive is mapped onto my computer. I have checked all the rights and it seem to be ok and i have write access to that folder. And one more thing i am able to delete another pdf file form the same folder where i have the access denied file. So i guess the problem is with the file itself. So any suggestions on the same ???????
