  Start an Administrative Command Prompt...

  Goto Start …>>> Type ( cmd ) enter

  Black box appear >>> Then

  Leave it open

  Step 2

  Press ctrl+alt+Del

  Select Task manager
  Start Task Manager,

  Select Process then

  Close/End Explorer.exe

  Step3

  Back to command prompt

  Open the command prompt.
  Find thefile directory that need to be delete

  Change to the appropriate directory:
  cd "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads" – ENTER
  Delete the file:
   del filename.mkv – ENTER

  Example :

   C:\user\awe>cd  “%USERPROFILE%\Downloads”   <Enter>

   C:\user\awe\Downloads>del filename.mkv             <Enter>

   C:\user\awe\Downloads>_
