Earlier I did try to move the files onto a Samba share and it looked as though it was working right up until the last second, when the move failed with the error "Files are in use by another application." Thinking I had that covered I rebooted the box imagining that this would close the other application, (whatever that might have been,) and I could then log back in and delete the files. Only it didn't work. I still can't delete them. How do I identify and eliminate stale windows vista file handles?

They're just video files. They're not system files and they're not part of the OS Perhaps we should get back to Dave's point about the file handles being left open. Because I suspect that's where the answer is going to be.

I've read some of this thread and am surprised no one has mentioned "Unlocker". I often have this problem and it allows me to do what I want with the file, e.g. delete, rename etc.
