  1. deleting a disc file


    Hey i have this problem where i downloaded a app that had a disc image file. I mounted one and I didn't like the program so I tried to delete it, I tried deleting the disc image file but it said it was open in the system. I checked my task manager and there was nothing that seemed it was from the app. I did delete the app but the disc image file was still there, I tried force deleting the Disc image file with cmd but didn't work. Then i saw a post of a person asking the same problem and one staff told him to go to device manager and delete the virtual dvd drive. I thought it is because of that

    :)

  3. Files waiting to be written to disc

    Hi,

    The Files waiting to be written to disc error occurs when the files that you're trying to burn are accidentally placed on the driver that is used by the disc burner, or when attempting to burn a disc fails. To resolve this, we suggest
    that you delete the temporary files to be burned as these files could be conflicting the process of burning the files that you want.

    Here are the steps:

    • Open Run by pressing the Windows key + R simultaneously.
    • Type shell:cd burning, and then press Enter
      to open the Temporary Burn Folder.
    • Delete all the files in the Temporary Burn Folder folder.
    • Restart the PC.
    • Attempt to finish burning the CD.

    Note: In the event that some files in Temporary Burn folder won't delete, restart the PC, and then try the procedure again.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Unable to delete temporary files

    Hi Sumit,

    Looks like you are running out of storage space, let's walk you through the steps of running
    Disc cleanup for your Windows 10 device.

    To delete temporary files, kindly follow these steps:

    • Type in Disc cleanup and press Enter.
