Author Topic: Um, can anyone think of a reason why I can't delete the Aces High II install files?  (Read 308 times)

Every time a new version of Aces High II comes out, I've deleted the old install file.  I send it to the Windows Recycle Bin, however, and not outright deleted them.  Well, I was cleaning house and noticed that all of the install files take up quite a large amount of space, so I tried deleting them from my recycle bin.  And I can't.  I get the following message:

"Cannot delete Dc1728: Access is denied.  Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

I checked the files, they're not read only.  My hard drive is neither full nor write protected.  The file cannot possibly be in use in the recycle bin.  Oddly, if I can't delete it from the recycle bin, I shouldn't be able to move it around or even put it in the recycle bin to begin with.  But I moved it out of the recycle bin and put it back in with no problem.

Sounds like you have a virus.

Dc1728 (OCX file isn't it?) has prob. been zapped.

Do you have a good anti-virus?  AVG is good.  Kaperski has an onine one ya' can use.
