I recently found I am unable to move, copy or delete my drive image files produced with Power Quest. I can move and delete any other files on the drive.
I have defragged and file checked the drive, and all seems well. The drive is in a caddy. The file is about 2Gig in size.

The message I get is--- “Cannot delete” file name “access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use.”

It isn`t, and there is 38Gig free space….any ideas please.

Thanks Gary.

Force Delete didn't work, but Unlocker does. That's another very useful and free program.
