Three ways to solve the problem of xp system video files can not be deleted

  
In the xp system, there is a very useful video function that is the video file preview function, but because of the existence of this function, we often have the prompt to delete when we delete the video file, which instantly makes us widen our eyes. What should I do? Let's explore it together.
Compression Software Removal Method
Here we can help us remove stubborn video files with the famous compression software WinRAR. Open WinRAR, select the drive letter of the video file in the address bar of the main interface, and then select the folder where the video file is located in the middle area until the video file is selected, and press the “Delete” button on the toolbar.
Ingenious deletion method
We know that the video file cannot be deleted because it is previewed. For this we can also move the file to an empty folder and delete the video file by deleting the folder. In addition, you can also create a blank file of any type in the directory where the video file is located, and then select the newly created file and video at the same time, so that the video file cannot be previewed, and it can be deleted directly.




Since the video file cannot be deleted due to the preview function, we can stop the preview function of the video file of Windows XP.
Open the Run dialog box, enter the “regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll” command, and press Enter to execute the prompt. At this point, the preview function of the Windwos XP video file is uninstalled. If you delete it, there will be no such error message. To restore the video preview feature, just run the “regsvr32 shmedia.dll” command.
In the xp system, I was very happy watching the video, but it was a headache when I deleted the video file. If you have encountered such a situation, try the above operation, you will be able to easily delete stubborn video files.
