Trying to delete a folder... [SOLVED]
There is a particular mod which I am trying to delete to install the latest version. The problem is it keeps saying 'cannot delete because the file/folder is open in another program'. This is annoying, because the only program open is the dialog box giving this message. I have checked the task manager and I can't see any minetest processes running-help? BTW I am on windows 7 starter, with 2gb ram intel atom 1.6ghz processor.

Typical tech support answer, but did you try to restart and delete it first thing when windows starts?

Ah, thankyou. I resarted and it has allowed me to delete the folder. A short while after I couldn't delete it, and before the restart, my computer crashed. Shortly before this the scroll-wheel also stopped working. It all works fine now- may have been because my laptop stays plugged in and on standby for sometimes weeks at a time. This probably messes it up.
