Microsoft Works error message:

Cannot delete file

The following are possible reasons for the error message, and suggested workarounds:

  You tried to delete a file that is either on a write-protected disk or in use on a network. Remove the write-protection or seal, or wait until the file is no longer in use on the network.   You tried to delete a file using the File File Management command, but the file is open in Works. Close the file.   You chose the File File Management command, and you tried to delete a special Works file. For example, you tried to delete WORKS.EXE. Works prevents you from deleting certain important files. If you misspelled the filename, correct it, choose File File Management (ALT+F+F), and then try again to delete the file.
