Odd issue here, am unable to delete 5.5 Gb .mts file. Explorer crashes when I right click this file. I can delete the other files in this folder. I ran shexview-x64 and disabled most of the context handles & ran the tweaking repair tool fully twice. Tried to delete in safe mode, no joy. I notice the green bar never fully completes. Also unable to rename the file. Thoughts..

Can you take ownership of it ?

Is this something you've downloaded for iPlayer and has a shelf life ?

Not sure if Disk Cleanup in Extended mode would pick out this or similar extender files but you could give it a go -

Good afternoon, Its a movie I recorded off air on BBC. The file name gives the date & time of the tx and it plays fine. (Pot player). The only difference I see is the naming protocol & size. When the cursor highlights the file, I get "not responding" and explorer reloads to good state. The failure of the "green bar" to complete its passage might indicate something relevant?

I'm not sure if this is the same thing but when my broadband speed wasn't up to iPlayer live downloads, I had to download desktop iPlayer and then the program.

These I think created a folder of their own - not sure now if it was in Videos or Pictures (Win 7) but they could be deleted from there by right clicking on them.

If they are there, then you can still right click on them - select Properties and see what Permissions there were under the Security tab if you are still unable to delete.

No, not quite the same thing. Movie recorded off air on a pvr then copied to my laptop, not streamed or downloaded, I player not on my system.I cant access the file to do anything, thats properties, rename delete etc on right click.
