Empty icon on desktop that can't be deleted

Veindetta · 07-05-2009, 05:04 AM

Hi!

I have this empty icon on my desktop that I can't delete and it's been bothering me for weeks. It still has the original name of the icon (which was a .torrent file from torrentsworld.net), but when I try to put it in the recycle bin it says ''Could not find this item. Verify the item's location and try again.'' Any idea how I could get rid of it?

Many Thanx!

google "unlocker," run it, right click the file in question and choose unlocker, delete
