I am new to vista. When I run a file scan it shows files that I can not open or delete. It shows the space used. How do I delete, move or open these files. I would like to have the space. Buster

You take ownership, then change permissions, then take the desired action. "Buster52" wrote in message news:dWAck.14945$N87.1317@nlpi068.nbdc.sbc.com... > I am new to vista.

File scan with what? Hidden files are generally system files that you dont want to fiddle with, unless you want to trash your system You need to be more explicit in what your are doing, and what you think you see - at least "Buster52" wrote in message news:dWAck.14945$N87.1317@nlpi068.nbdc.sbc.com... >I am new to vista.

I am using Binary Boy to download binary files. It makes temp files until all the files that it needs are in. Then it makes one big file. If all the files it needs do not come in it leaves then in a folder called part. I need to go in there from time to time and delete the old files. I deleted to files but find them when I do a search for files ending with .BBT. I find thousands for files with bbt. Try to open or delete these files, it tells me they can not be opened. Can not be found. But I notice the space missing on my hard-drive. I have even deleted the folder the files or in. Still find them when doing a search. Buster >>I am new to vista.
