Hi Matty,
I’m already logged in as admin, and as for the boilerplate advice, if I even attempt that I’ll probably melt my PC. I’m no good at all with the technical side of PCs. I can make 3D planets on Photoshop though. Don’t mind me. Just wanted to tell someone.
Any other advice? Please?
I have never had this problem with PS, but I have run into problems with files becoming permanently locked in windows. Couple of things you can try:
1. With Photoshop _not_ running, copy the file using Explorer. If that works, the file may get "unlocked" and you can delete it.
2. Rename the file, again with Photoshop _not_ running.
3. Run Windows in command prompt mode (hit F8 when it starts) and then use the CD command to navigate to the file, like:
CD "C:\Photos\Camera\2006\December" or whatever the path is and then use the DEL command to delete the file:
DEL SomeFile.psd
use DIR to see a directory listing of the folder. This has always taken care of it, but I grew up on DOS (cut my teeth on CP/M actually<g>) so it’s not a big stretch for me to do it.
