Found a way around this problem on my Windows XP SP3 machine.
1. Right click the file or folder which refuses to delete and select Properties 2. In the General tab, set the Read Only and Archive attributes to 'ticked' and hit Apply 3. Click OK to apply the changes to the folder and it's subfolders and files 4. With the Properties box still open, delete the file (or folder) 5. Once deleted, click OK or Cancel to close the Properties box
NOTE: All the files I've had this problem with have had a 'square' symbol in the Read Only attribute box by default. By changing this and the Archive attribute to 'ticked' as above, I've been able to delete every one. I've only had this problem since installing NanoNAS the other day and haven't come across it in any other version of NL.
I've got no idea what causes this issue or why the method described above seems to work but I'd be interested to know if this works for anyone else who's having the same problem.
