Can't delete file [solved]

I decided to start ripping my dvds to avi for a trip I'll be going on soon. Looking for an easy program to use, I decided to use bitripper. This was a small mistake..
The program took 1 and a half hours to rip and encode and the output file was 41 gbs! And on top of that the file isn't even good quality. The picture is blue. :chair:
I tried deleting this file only to find that windows 7 wont let me stating that "You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this file." After trying a few more times to delete, i opened the file back up only to find that the file wont open anymore saying I don't have permission to open. Next I tried to take ownership of it using the program "takecontrol." That failed stating that "I don't have permission to open this file."

Can anyone help me?

Notes:
yes. I am the admin.
running windows 7 rc x64
movie = ironman

you will most likely have to start up with the RC disk, go into repair mode, go into DOS, and manually delete the file.

You're not alone with that problem. Win7 has stopped me from performing actions like extracting files for the same reason even though I'm the only administrator.
 
Well, I rebooted into safe mode to find that the file had decided to erase itself. So problem solved I guess.

thanks all.
 
you never tried restarting your computer did you?

/facepalm.

oh well good for you

There are some files that will never delete even after you restart... for that I use Unlocker.
