okay, so I made a "while" loop on java:

Code:

while(x == true)
{
 //do things
}

and, like an idiot, forgot to set x to false anywhere...

now, inside this loop, it also happened to be writing to the disk and by the time i realized what was happening, bamn, i have a 125 meg html file

now, I CANNOT!!!! delete the damn thing
(the file)

I have restarted since, still no luck and infact i just COPIED the file somewhere, tried to delete the COPY and STILL on luck

I really am at a loss as of how to get rid of this thing and am quite amazed that somewhere it is still being accessed by a program.. i have no idea which one

can anyone help me out here

?
