A friend of mine tried to download a file, but it was cut off mid-download and she got stuck with a .rar file that has 0 bytes, but in the details it says 8MB. Pressing Delete doesn't do anything. Cmd can't find the file.

It says 8MB in the Details, but this won't let me post more than 2 images.

You better boot the system in safe mode.

The problem might be that it might be open in some application. Sometimes the downloader itself which might be running in the background.

So, u better boot the pc in safe mode. Delete the file and restart the system.

That most probably fixes.

Or you can use some rescue disc like herons boot cd to open the mini xp by which you can delete modify or do anything.

Use dir /x to find the short 8.3 name of the file.

Then use that name in the del command.
