I recently downloaded a video file in FLV format. However at present I am unable to copy, move, or even delete the file.

Is there any way to remove it? AVG doesnt show any infections, File Shredder hangs when I try to use it to remove the file.

Try with Unlocker, maybe file is locked from another program.

Sometime, just need reboot PC.

Windows Vista and 7 have some random bugs with file operations. One of them I have is if I copy or delete, the icon sometimes stays even when it is no longer there.

Simply click an empty space on your desktop then press F5 to refresh the screen.
