Hi friends.
Once again I'm in need of help. This time with an issue which I've been strugling with the whole weekend and it's driving me nuts:
As we know Galaxy Nexus does not have an external SD card, but instead uses an internal partition that works as an SD card.
I have in the aforementioned SD partition a folder containing two rather large files which I need to delete. They are definitely not "system files" that would be recreated by the OS: I copied them from my pc a few days ago. They are play station games I wanted to try with an emulator I bought, and because they are "images" extracted from CDs, they are rather large.
Altough its a bit technical for me, I've checked they have read and write permisions, yet they refuse to go. I have tried using 3 methods:
If I had a removable, external SD card I'd just format it and be done with it, but with a "virtual" SD card such as we have, I dunno what to do and I can't think of what's causing this or how to solve it and I've reached my technical capabilities, so any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Altough its a bit technical for me, I've checked they have read and write permisions, yet they refuse to go. I have tried using 3 methods:
- Via USB cable: When I connect my phone to my PC, browse to the folder where the files are and delete them, they appear to be gone. But as soon as I reconect the cable or refresh the view, the files reappear.
- Remotelly with programs such as airdroid and Wifi file explorer: I use my computer's internet browser to navigate through my SD partition and delete those files as per each of the programs usage. Again the files appear to be deleted, but when I refresh the folder contents, the files remain.
- On the phone itself, with file explorers such as Astro filemanager: Same. I use the app to try delete the offending files and depending on the app I might get a message saying "files deleted" or something similar, but nothing happens with the files.
