    Advice- how to delete a file with admin rights

    ok- im putting this to the group- cause ive been battling this stupid file and folder for about a half hour.

    if any of you know anything about mp3-g karaoke files it would be a plus.

    this is so stupid its crazy- in computerized karaoke, the mp3 and cdg files are in a zip folder, the software plays it by unzipping-

    whild doing some mundane library chores i unzipped a file cause the mp3 inside would not let me correct the updated naming structure, so fine, i have software for that, unzipped the file, took control, ownership, changed all the security rights on the zip and the cdg, but the mp3 is not allowing me to do anything but play it.

    i cannot alter, delete or change special permissions or owners rights or nothing.

    so i went back to the disc and re ripped that track, now i no longer need this copy, and it wont let me delete or move it off to a different drive or anything. and i cannot re zip it.

    i tried using file assasin in malwarebytes, and windows will not allow it without admins permission, which i cannot change.

    and it scans clean, so its not a bug, and it plays, but i cannot get rid of it-

    problem is, its on a 750 gig drive with 170,000 other files on it- if i had enough drives around to move all of the other files and just reformat the damn drive i would, but thats not verey practical either.

    im open for ideas*Bang Head :banghead:

    by the way if it makes a difference, im in windows 7 rc 1 64 bit- never seen this one before.
