k guys, i've tried everything and I need some help.

about once a month since I got my new mac g4 powerbook i have this problem:

when I download sit files (this only happens with sit's) sometimes i cannot delete them. I try to put them in the trash and it says that they are being used. The fact is, they are Not being used... I have had one on my desk top (i was downloading a midi program and halfway through it froze) for a week now. I have tried to restart, shut down, delete cookies / temp files, relaunch finder, boot with mac disk, boot os 9: nothing works. The last time this happened I called mac on the phone and they had no clue why this happens to me. They got me to go into apple script and code it out, but there has to be an easier way as i don't remember the script.

help?

ps: I have to say the osx is the best op sys i have ever used, and no one else I know with macs has ever had this problem. Or have they??
