Error Deleting File or Folder

Hi

I am using Adobe Reader 9.

I scanned a doc to my hard drive as a pdf file. It appeared to go through ok but when I open up the file it is empty - "there was an error opening this document - this file cannot be found".

I attempt to delete the file from the hard drive and get an error message - "Error deleting file: cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name".

Can anyone advise howI can delete this file as it is making it difficult to back up all other files on the hard drive?

Thanks.

Did you post this to the right forum? It doesn't sound like a CF question...

Sorry

Do not understand that you mean - posted to what I thought was a forum - if not perhaps you could help?

Sure, it's a forum, but it's a ColdFusion forum, not an Adobe Acrobat forum. Right vendor, wrong product.

And sorry, no, I don't know what might be holding your file open. Is it still claiming to be locked even after a reboot? Weird.

I have to concede I have never used Adobe Acrobat or any of its related products. I don't even use Adobe Acrobat Reader any more. It's too bloated for what it's meant to do.
