Hey everyone. Got a bit of computer trouble on my hands.

See, I recently tried to download a game, yeh? But the download cancelled and now I have a corrupt file on my desktop. Called "Setup0417". It's part of the game package and everything, but it refuses to be deleted or removed from my computer.

I try to delete it, my computer says it's "Being used by another person or application."

I restart and try again, same thing.

Help me get rid of it, plx.

Check your background processes, there's probably something that is accessing that file. It could be a process related to the game, or possibly something else. Just be sure to Google any processes that you're not sure about, otherwise you may be forced to restart if you terminate something that's necessary.

If nothing stands out as being obvious, the next thing I would check is if the download client is running in the background. If it is, check to see if the file is still queued... Or if you can at the moment, just terminate that process to see if the file can be deleted.
