I downloaded a video and watched it but now I can't get it to delete.
If I right click on it and hit "delete" it says it is sending it to "recycling" but it never ends.
I would appreciate any ideas as to how to get rid of it
Yeah, so I want to completely start over because my new PC is being laggy and crap. So I selected the 'Reset' option, to completely remove everything. The option like I was 'recycling' rather than keeping the PC. Just wanted to erase everything from the hard drive. Took about 2 hours, as there...

A small piece of Link Removedorwegian humor. Heh. The link seems to work not-all-that well, best if you pause it at start, and wait til it's downloaded completely.

I am running windows 7 on a HP Pavillion Elite m9040n PC. My first drive is saying it is full. With all of these folders (my pictures) showing up with pictures in them does that mean I have several duplicates on my hard drive? Are all of these picture icons in the items folders really pictures...

If you have some handsets lying unused at your home then it is much better to sell them at a top dollar price rather than throwing them in dustbin to decompose in open and pollute the environment. It is estimated that decaying handsets create around seventy thousand toxic waste every year...

I'm new to this forum so excuse me if I'm asking this question in the wrong place.
My old HP laptop died from overheating (a common issue with that model I found out). Is it worth saving the RAM modules before I send it off to the recycler?
The 2 modules are each 512mb DDR 333 CL2.5
