apparently whenever you download a file with internet explorer that is missing the stuff to tell your computer what it is yet has the . as an exsample "errorcauseingfile." will result in an error that causes invisible file named the same thing witch will be 0 bytes in size and are impossible to erase when you attempt to erace it it says "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk" and as far as any program on the computer is conserned its not there at all

how do I erase such a file?
