Answer 2

Hit the delete button on your keyboard......

Answer 3

If it is a program then it must be uninstalled. Windows vista may use the flash drive to speed up the computer. Vista installs software in the drive to increase speed.

If it is not a program and you have nothing of value on the drive, you can always format it

Answer 4

are you sure the file is not open in any way, shape, or form?

if it is close the program then try deleting it again

if that doesn't work then try pushing the delete button on your keyboard

if that still doesn't work I'm sorry i couldn't be any help

Answer 5

it would be best if you listed those options and anything else that comes up on the screen. Your flash-drive might be in the locked mode. Some flash-drives have a switch on the side that you have to move to unlock itself. Another thing might be is that the file is tied to other files. its a source file. Good luck with your problem.  

Answer 6

drag the file to your trash or recycle bin or select the file click delete on keyboard or it could try select the file, click file, then delete

good luck!!!! :)

Answer 7

ensure there is no write protect switch on the flash drive itself.  then try formatting it, rather than deleting it.  if it still does not work, try another computer.

Answer 8

make sure the switch on the flash drive is not locked. there is a switch that can go two ways. one is a closed lock the other has nothing or is an open lock
