Can't delete a file.

billyrush25 · 01-14-05, 12:36 AM

I have a X50v and I have a jpg stored in the //mydevice/mydocuments/mypictures folder that I cannot delete. I was using it as my wallpaper but when I wanted to remove it I got an error message stating "Cannot delete 'wallpaper': There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use.".

I have tried removing it from all other locations (CF and SD cards), changing the wallpaper, renaming the file and then deleting it, but nothing works. I even tried to cut and paste it to another folder and delte it from there but when I went back to the folder it was still there. I would like to avoid resetting the device but I don't even know if that will help.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Do a soft reset and then try to delete the file. Make sure the file is not open all or it won't work.
