Deleting non-existent files
I found some files on my computer that cannot be opened...but they cannot be deleted either...or moved. I try to delete/move them nothing happens. if I try to play them in media player or winamp (its a winamp media file) the title shows up but nothing happens. If i try to delete or remove the folder in which it is in I get an error saying the file cant be found and to check the path. the folder is also empty. How do i get rid of them?
Derek Smart is his own oxymoron.

I have had the same problem with an anonymous FTP account I used to run off my server. I could never fix it for good. I did however figure out what the problem was. The files cant be deleted because they contain illegal ASCII spaces.
