The question? how to delete protected files is set either by people who have caught a virus in the network, or by those who clean up the computer. For those and others, let's say that you need to delete protected files very carefully, competently, since if the rules are not followed, you can ditch the entire operating system.
Instructions
Step 1
There is DOS under your operating system (you may remember from the lessons of computer science), so it is with its help that you can try to delete a protected file.
Step 2
Find the location of the file on the system.
Step 3
Select it and delete it using the "del" command.
Step 4
For more efficient work in DOS you will need HTFS Reader (it is worth reading about it separately).
Step 5
You can also use special programs to find and delete protected files. Partition Magic helps a lot. It divides hard drives into partitions and scans them.
Step 6
Load the marked files and completely delete the section with the "del" command.
Step 7
Alternatively, you can use the Unlocker file removal program. It will also help with protected files. However, remember that this program refuses to delete files that are involved in the process. In this case, use the Live CD. It is an operating system that runs from disk without installation.
Step 8
If neither utilities nor other operating systems will help you, then chat on specialized forums, state your problem in detail and there will definitely be an answer.
