I've found that deleting avi-files is sometimes impossible, even after restart. Terminating the explorer process and deleting the file from the command line may work. Also there is a reg-file fix for this:
Save the text as a reg-file and run it:
---
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
// Run this file and all problems, with AVI-files not being deletable in Windows XP, disappear
//
// Created by Duxus
// Info gathered by Moo
// Support from jswede
//
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}\InProcServer32]
@=hex(1):0
"ThreadingModel"="None"
