One day I opened up My Pictures to find a “picture” called ME NAKED #17 … I don’t know how it got there and it won’t delete. When I tried to delete it with Window Washer, it said it was in a system directory. If anyone knows anything about this or how to delete it, I would appreciate it if you would email me (golferdude507@aol.com ) IM me (prplxvemavrck) or reply to this with info.
Thanks

undeletable files with names like that scream virus problems to me.
Run your Anti virus apps, if you dont have one, search for AVG, Ewido, or the like. Ewido has a free online scanner thats pretty good IME.
If you are coming up clean, try downloading pocket killbox and typing in the file path…not much it can’t delete.
you could download and burn a linux live CD. Theres no way any file can survive that.

AFAIK, while FAT32 support is read/write, NTFS support is currently read-only, so if the object is to delete the file, it likely wouldn’t work.
If a virus scan doesn’t help, Safe Mode seems like it might, though more information (in the form of your filesystem type and OS) would be helpful.
