I didn't know where else to put this.
I am running in Windows XP, by the way.

The other day when I emptied out my recycle bin, there were two files in there that I didn't recognize. So I restored them to see what they were. And now I am unable to edit them in any way. I can't move them, rename them, delete them, nothing. I tried putting them back in the recycle bin, but nothing happens. I get this message when I try to do something to it:

Cannot delete jhgf312.mpg: Access is denied.

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

I tried going through safe mode to delete it, but I got nothing. I've tried looking through the properties of the file, but I got nothing.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong, and how I can fix it?
