I know I will most probably sound like a complete freak to you, but there is something I just got to ask. There are some files I would like to delete from my hard disk, but they just won’t go away. What can be the reason? Could it be because my hard drive has some bad sectors? Thanks in advance

Hey there! No you do not sound like a freak  everybody has to start learning somewhere, and this is your beginning. There can be plenty of reasons for not being able to delete files from your PC. I do not know about bad sectors, but maybe that also can be a reason. But, it is more possible that these files are system files, or that they are protected somehow so they cannot be deleted. It may even be, that the files you are trying to delete are being used by the system, or some application. So, I think you should first check all these options, and then think about the other ones.These are the most possible ones.
