Errr.. probably if this man browsed some Windows Tips websites before, he would've known the cause and the remedy for this problem.

The "can't delete/move AVI" phenomenon happens because Windows reads the infos from each AVI file when you select it (for the extended explorer folder view with resolution etc.) during which the file gets locked. Fixing it is simple: Don't let Explorer read the info.

Save this as avi.reg and apply it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTSystemFileAssociations.avishellexPropertyHandler] @=""

Voila.

P.S. Reboot after that, of course...

Dude, read the posts, it's not because it's "corrupt or too big". It's because Explorer reads some info from the AVI (resolution, fps...) and it is locked during that. Apply the Registry file i posted or do that other trick from above.

another solution is not to use explorer .... open command line client switch to the file .... end explorer.exe delete file start it again if there is no way to get it
