okay so i tried importing a DVD with 42, as a VCD and i didn't really know what i was doing with the program so i had it spit all of the files onto the desktop. It finaly finished and i saw that it took up too much space so i tried getting rid of all the files but i can't move this one icon its the stream.yuv, it looks like a network disk alias, with the little arrow on it.
when ever i try and move it, it freezes the finder, same when i tried using Force Delet, is there anyway, other then booting into 9 to get rid of it?

I had the exact same thing happen to me. the only way i was able to rid myself of the cursed thing was to boot into single user mode (holding apple-S at startup) and delete the thing from command line. I bet using the sudo command would work too.

Yeah. That YUV file is a pain in the ass. In the future, you can fire up the terminal to get rid of it. Once it loads, type
cd desktop
Once there, type
rm filename.YUV
replacing "filename" with the name of the file.
Cheers

I have had the same problem. This is what I did and I also just posted this in another thread.
1. Launch terminal
2. Type "rm" type a space, and then drag that pesky file onto the Terminal window. (this will add the path to that file)
3. Press enter/return
The file should be gone. If there is a permissions issue then do this:
1. Same as above
2. Type "sudo rm" type a space, and then drag that pesky file onto the Terminal window.
3. Enter in your password.
4. Press return.
Problems solved.

Man! I totally forgot that the terminal is drag and drop capable! Thanks for the reminder!
