I've had this file on my desktop forever. I think I downloaded it off of limewire a couple years ago- it was an mp3. I've tried so many times to delete it, and I always get the same message:
The item "blah.mp3" is being used by another task right now. (Other tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the Trash). Try again when the other task is complete.
This is the same message when Finder is the only thing running- as I can see when I try to force quit. I've tried changing the kind of file, changing the name of the file (I don't know why that would work...), and always the same message. Oh, and I can't open it either. It says:
Couldn't open the file "blah.mp3" because the sound information was in a bad or damaged format.
So, it's been sitting there, and I've been ignoring it. But, I'm curious as to what could possibly be going on here. Surely there's got to be some way to get rid of this. Could it be some kind of virus? I haven't had any other problems in the last 2 years.
If you need any further information, let me know. Thanks.
