I have a file that can't be deleted, its name is too long for the recycle bin and can't be deleted. When I tell it to just to skip it, when i tried to delet it in cmd it kept telling me the file didn't exist, when i try to manually delete it's folder, it gives me the error, cannot delete REALPR~1.jpg cannot find the specified file. when i try to delete the file itself it just makes a ding sound and doesn't move, i think it has something to do with indexing but it tells me that properties are unavailable for the file Im not sure what to do, i don't think its a virus, its only 40kb is size, but it is sure annoying having it there. Also when I try to move the folder out of DocumentsAndSettings it tells me that realpr~1.jpg can't be moved because the source and destination filename is the same, but i have no file with that name anywhere else on my computer
