How do you delete files in Win2000?
This sounds like an open-and-shut and OBVIOUS question, but bear with me...

Some details:

- Win2000 Pro.
- FAT32 filesystem.
- NO PASSWORDS - machine boots DIRECTLY to the desktop.
- Toshiba Satellite laptop.
- The client bought it in to me, as he could not delete certain files.
- The files are JPG images.
- The client added the files himself, from a USB flash-drive, back in February this year.
- 16 files, totalling 1.8MB.

The files are porn images, and he wants to make sure they are deleted, before he sells the laptop - fair enough.

In explorer, you can see the filenames, and the filesizes of the JPG images, but if you try to delete any one image, or the whole folder, Win2000 reports "Cannot delete - file cannot be found."
Double-clicking the filename results in the same message - "File not found.", even though you can see them there, and the filesize is listed
