Hi. I accidentally downloaded a internet game with realplayer downloader. Two files were saved. One could not be read. The other was a video that could not be read. I deleted the one that couldent be read at all. I couldn't delete the other one. When I tried to, tis error message came up :

Cannot delete ______: access is denied
Make sure the disk is not full or write protected
And that the file is not currently in use.

I was not using the file nor was my disk full.
Please help me asap (as soon as possible)

It means it is protected by copyright laws and it is a Federal offence to copy it.

You might want to open taskmanager and make sure the file is not in use. Just because you can't see anything running on the desktop does not mean it is not being used.
