Problems in Server 2000.

Hey all.

We at my company are running into some issues with Windows Server 2000. I am not the IT guy, but as the resident expert on anything with a monitor, they ask me for help. We do hire out to an IT consulting thing, but I don't think he is particularly intelligent and is also extremely expensive (personally, I don't trust someone that uses a 6+ year old laptop and has yet to actually fix any of our problems).

I am trying to clean up some space on the server (we have a whopping 21GB of space!) and noticed that a user has a profile on the server with over 2GB in old QuickBooks back ups. This person no longer works at the company, so in attempting to delete the files, I get an error that says the file is in use. Well, its not. The user is not logged in, no one was logged into Quickbooks. I disconnected the server from the network, booted into SafeMode and still the file was in use.

What can I do to get rid of these files?

Thanks again in advance.
 
Well, I was able to fix it. I reset the permissions on all the files to the Administrator only and it worked.

I need to correct you. As I learned today from one of our bright remote users...it is not a monitor. It is officially "the face of the computer". Yep, that's what he called it.
