Can't delete Raster .jpg files

Well, I managed to delete most of them, but there are three that won't delete

well, they've half deleted, as in, they now report as being 0 bytes, and when i delete them form the folder they do disappear, but as soon as i levae the folder to delete it, it says i can't delete it as it's not empty, and when i go back into the folder, those 3 jpgs are still there.

I've been trying to delete them as they've been throwing up errors on my TT, for example, it'll try and boot but get stuck on the splashscreen, then go black, then reload the default tomtom splash screen, play the tribal drum sound, load my splash screen abck up then finally after a good thing about ti, start working,
when connecting to to TTHome it'll find an error with a raster file (i assume it's one of these 3 i didn't check the number in the error log) and strangely, the first file in that list is causing some error which is stopping XP from doing a defrag on the TT unit.

sorry, bit of a long winded meandering first post.
Any idea's?

You may have to copy everything else off, folder by folder (plus all the system files which aren't in folders) and then do a re-format, before putting everything back on.

I think I remember having to do something very similar in the past.

I'll give that a bash then, cheers

Can you re-name them? and do they delete then?

Run a scandisk - that should enable you to delete them

Try Unlocker.

A freeware app that has helped me in the past delete/rename locked files

Thanks all,

I tried Andy P's suggestion, copied everything off it except for the raster folder using windows explorer, did a quck format, then copied everything back.

Works like a charm now.
