However, in similar situations I have had luck in "ERASING" them with,
funnily enough a prog called "Erasure"
When installed simply select the offending file and choose "erase" and

sectors and unused space by overwriting to military standards (is this
good I ask after all the recent leaks of information?)
Works for me!
