"Can't delete file.."

Got a little problem here!

I was just cleaning up my computer for some free space.
Mostly music.

There is a certain file.. roughly 89MB, which I can't delete. If I click on it just once, my computer freezes. If I double click it, still the same effect as before. It is a music file.

I can't get around this problem. I've also tried searching for it on my hard drive and it finds no results.

Anyone know what to do and how to delete it?

Thanks.

You don't execute MP3s, they're decoded by your MP3 codec then played.

Um, since a music file technically executes, but doesn't install, isn't it impossible to uninstall? I mean, I've never seen an uninstall link for any of my mp3's :P

Uninstall a music album?!

Files of this size often have an uninstall link instead of a delete link, this is because you may have deleted other files needed to play this file. Try right clicking on the file and if it does have a link then click it.

Goto www.winmx.com better than kazaa and a smaller install.

Somewhere other than Kazaa.

If we told you, we'd get banned..

And thank you to the rest of you who offered help!
:D

Thank you so much! Did that, froze just once but it deleted. Glad I got rid of that now.

An album.

What kind of music file's 89 MB anyway?

I just remembered that I had this problem with a file once, and what I did was get a few I wanted to delete, selected all of them at once (making sure that the problem file was not the first one selected), and pressed delete. And they all dissapeared no problem.
